Studio Progress

After finishing Reta's quilt yesterday (although it's still hanging out on the frame), the next order of business was heading out to start working on the north wall.

We discovered the previous owner, when the house was built, had this wide wood siding put on prior to the next owner having it vinyl sided...

A hidden gem under the Tyvek

We discovered this after removing said vinyl siding and a tear occurred in the Tyvek wrap underneath. The Tyvek was then stripped off to reveal this dark grey wall...

Removing the Tyvek

We shifted the drywall Jim was putting up to across the room and then we removed the rest of the Tyvek. Jim had to help remove some of the stubborn siding nails and staples underneath. But here's Jim's other project he was doing while I was working on mine...

Getting the drywall up on the south wall

While the gray siding looked okay, it was way too dark for my tastes. After lunch, we ran to town and picked up some trim for the cathedral north end, more insulation, and a few painting supplies. Have you priced a gallon of paint lately? STICKER SHOCK!

This is what the south end now looks like...

I LOVE THIS!

I need to go check it out in the daylight hours because as you can tell, it was very dark when we finally finished out there last night. 

Ran into town already this morning to pick up lunch stuff and some hinges for the west door. Jim is going to try to get that hung up this coming week and the hinges we found previously weren't the correct ones. 

Not sure what (if any) small project I'm going to get to today. I have to get Reta's quilt off and the backing prepared for tomorrow morning. I have that rush piece that came in last week and need to get to it.
