Re: Saturday Chat 02.15.20

Hey guys....Back home last night from sister house. Got up Thursday morning (and it was really cold), headed over to the 'city' (which is 30 minute drive in the opposite direct from my sis's place) to pick up 20 sheets of sheetrock and a few other things I needed for the project. Back home to load up tools and by noon we were headed to her house. an hour later we are there. My nephew got there very shortly after we did to help. By 6 we have most of the sheetrock hung in the two big rooms. After supper I go back down to do a few other little details and determine what needed to be done and how to approach the bathroom. I tell my nephew to be back 8 or 8:15 in the morning. Oh they are in mountain time zone, so my body clock is still on central time. I wake up Friday morning at my normal time which is 2 hours before nephew is supposed to show up, so I get up and decide I am going to start the taping and mudding on what we did the day before. About the time he got there I was just finishing up mudding.

So then we get started on the bathroom stuff that needed to be done before hanging the rock. I had some electrical issues to address and he started reinforcing blocking for handrails, grab bars and towel racks. We got all that done and started hanging the few pieces of rock. we got the first 3 pieces put up and Rosie comes down to ask a question and tell me my sister is taking the dog to the vet as she is sick, my nephew says he is going to see what is going on (the dog is, more or less niece and nephew's kid) and he decides that he needs to go with sis to take the dog to the vet (over an hour away). That leaves me with Rosie to help me finish up. She comes in a bit later asking if I was ready to load up...(we were going to GS#3s ball game part way back home, at 6 pm .....I said it's only 4:15 and she says, Yea, MOUNTAIN TIME.....Oh crap! So I hurry and finish cutting the last piece of rock, haul it downstairs and set it in place. Then I hurry up to take a shower..while I'm doing that, she is taking the tools out. We jump in and head east. We get to the game and we have just missed the start, but GS didn't start and he was awaiting a timeout so he could enter the game. Initially we were going to stay for the varsity games as well, but after GSs game I was tired and ready to go home. So we made the 40 minute trek home.

Today we have homecoming and I am working those games. Still tired, but I will make it through.

Have a great day.
