New walls!

The stage of the rebuild process that I've always thought will make Glenlochan seem more like a home again, more than anything else, is the hanging and mudding of drywall.  For that reason, I've been anxiously awaiting this stage, so the delivery of the drywall was a big day.  It takes a big truck to move heavy and long pieces of drywall:

Multiple sheets of drywall were carefully moved to a second floor window and then brought in through the window and unloaded.  This system sure beats carrying each sheet by hand from a truck to the house (which I've actually done on a much smaller scale, and it's not fun at all).

Drywall was then distributed throughout the room of the house so they could be hung as efficiently as possible.

The first ceiling went up very quickly:

A few days later, the drywall was completely hung throughout the house  - it looks pretty great!

About eight day's worth of taping and mudding to go and we'll be ready to prime and move to other projects.  Some projects are important but have limited visual impact (like rough plumbing) but this is not true of the drywall stage.
