I’ve learned everything in renovations will happen in layers. You never know what you’ll find when you peel the layers back. Mold, leaks, rotting wood, dirt, dust, and all things in between. Things need to be repaired and cleaned up. I’ve written about those before.

The fun and excitement builds when you get to put those layers back. Especially when they are big layers. This past week the drywall went up. I hired this part out. It ended up being 37 sheets of drywall. Joe made it look easy getting it up and even easier with the taping and mudding. He did an excellent job and it was fun to watch.

Each step in putting things back together creates a different energy feel in the space. I’m excited to get on to the next step. Painting. After that, the new flooring goes in.
