Home Renovation Project: Back Patio Deck: Project Update
The drywall subcontractor finished up the repair of the family room walls today. This evening Kristy and I spent some time taping and painting the walls. It took a couple of coats to cover the drywall primer, but it looks great now that it is complete. It was great to have Kristy help with the taping, we were able to knock it out in just a couple of hours. The family room is almost back to a pre-steel-beam-installatation state. We need to wrap the beam yet of course, but that process won't start until the 13th. Between now and then we hope to have the millwork installed and painted (not by us) and the ceiling repainted (something we will do).

The light at the end of the tunnel of our ongoing home renovation is getting brighter. Today our new patio doors were tied into the home security system and the carpet in our master bedroom was re-installed (it had been rolled back for the benefit of installing the new door). There are only a few things left to do!
