prep work

Over the past few days we've made some progress on the prep work needed before we put up the drywall on the ceiling in our master bedroom.

Remember that old rusty pipe? Well Matt sanded it down and spray painted it with a Rustoleum product that prevents rust. He also painted the boards around it with Kilz, just in case there was any lingering mold from the water that leaked in from the bathroom.

We also added some supports to the copper pipes that run across the room (as it was suggested we do by inspector Mike when he came to look at the electrical)

Over the weekend, we also did a couple other little things. Like finally hang the paper towel rack

Put the corner back on the house (after only, oh, um, the entire winter). Don't worry, that nail we put in has a rubber washer, so its water tight.

and do a little more shoring up of the garage roof. We've gotten a lot (A LOT) of rain lately and are still working on getting it completely water-tight. Getting closer and closer though

Tomorrow night, we start on the drywall!
