We weren't even at Pinon Rock for 24 hours this weekend. I needed to do somethings before the sheetrocking starts tomorrow.- Check Insulation installation
- Re-plumb the stair railing posts, as the screws will be covered with sheetrock
- Add a stud for the in wall ironing board in the laundry room
- Complete the in-wall inventory, before they are covered
We also had time on Sunday to clean the house again. I know you are probably saying "why" with sheetrocking this week, but after seeing it cleaned up last weekend we will probably be doing this quite a bit from now on.
I also got to repaint the trim around the windows in exterior doors.
I am a little disappointed in the "Protective Coating Specialist" in that he did mention, prior to my painting about cleaning the glazing off the glass. The result last weekend was very dismal. I guess you get what you pay for. Oh ya, I haven't paid him anything. I guess that's what I got. Ha, ha, Bill.

After cleaning the glazing and then repainting it looks great. Next weekend I will re-do the other doors.
Sheetrocking is going to take about 10 days. During that time we will be working on the exterior; sealing the deck and glulams and painting the trim. I hope to get the plastic sheeting off the windows next weekend. If it doesn't rain, like it did yesterday.
There are pro's and con's to the rain. In an arid area like Pinon Rock the moisture is always appreciated, but the roads are really getting washed out and it doesn't make much sense to work them, when another gully washer is just a day away.
Usually the rain only lasts while Mimi M. is visiting (and that is when it started this year). She must have left something important here, because it hasn't stopped.
On the plus side, the flowers, especially this late in the season, are tremendous.
I am going to post a couple more stories later this week, so check back.

What's this comment about painting windows and cleaning the glazing? I couldn't have given you any advice on that as we didn't paint any windows!
So how much do you miss Derek so far? Ryan leaves in nine more days and we need to find out what the other side is like.
I bet you will have found your second career after all the hours of painting you are going to do!
Derek who? We never hear from him and we were cautioned during the orientation sessions about calling.
Thats the point as the potective coating specialist you should have anticipated and provided insight before I undertook the next step. I guess as with most consultants I need to know when to switch horses. ;>
You put me in a strange situation, I am usually looking to you for leadership and guidance, what was a guys suposed to do?
Wait til you hear the still developing framing and insulation inspection story. I need to get it to an end point though first.
