Drywall, Dust & Denim

So we've been drywalling the Living Room, Dining Room, and Master Bedroom. This process literally has taken us the last 3 weeks (beyond our regular job hours and weekends). We've had some great help from friends lately. Diego and Josh have been a big help in getting this process moving faster. Today we just finished sanding the first layer of plaster and put on the second coat. Tomorrow we'll sand. Thursday, we'll put on the final coat. Friday, we'll spray foam the rest of the house (because the additional foam we had to order will arrive this Thursday). In addition, this weekend we will do the final sanding and use the texture machine (loaned to us by Josh and his family...Thank you!!!) to texture the walls. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Oh yeah, don't forget that we'll be putting up drywall in the office and the guest room this weekend. It's a sprint to the finish line. 8 days left of school. 2 1/2 weeks left with our rental unit. Needless to say, we are crazy from stress. Thank goodness we're not bickering.

Here are photos to prove our progress:

This is denim insulation: It is made of recycled jeans. This insulation is placed in the walls as a sound barrier between the Living Room & Guest room, the Living Room & Master Bedroom, and  between the Master & Office.It surely does make a difference. This was noticed immediately upon installation.
