We’ve accomplished a lot over the last month, such as finishing the sheet rock in the attached garage and the loft above the shop and we finally have GARAGE DOORS!  Woo Hoo!

Our garage doors are painted and installed

I spent 2 weeks mudding and taping and mudding and sanding and mudding…. the shop loft in the early hours of the morning before heading to the office.  I’m glad to say that I’m getting better at it and learning a few tricks along the way.  It should make my job easier when we are ready to sheet rock Ben’s wood shop.

We were also the recipient of some reclaimed hardwood flooring from our most awesome friend Joey Decker ♥.  Ben and I don’t mind a little hard work if the materials are FREE!  We had to clip off the old nails and get them up into the loft and organized by length before we could start nailing them into their new home.  We need to make every inch count so that we have enough to cover the whole 504 sq ft of the loft.

We had several offers to get out of town for a romantic weekend but Ben and I want to stay close to home and pour some more love into our new home ♥♥♥  I’ve got a lot of prep work to do so that we can move forward on the house and wood shop sheet rock.   It should be a good productive weekend for us!
