End of day 6

Picked up another piece of 1/4 inch drywall at hd and put it up. I'm done drywalling at this point unless I decide to do the top of the stairs. Need to make a plan to finish the rest of the walls.

End of day 5

Pulled some 1/4 inch sheets from the basement (left over from Ian's room) to do the side of the steps and finished the door area where I could. There is some water damage that has to be addressed.

End of day 4

Much better day today. Lots of odds and ends. 3 more sheets on the long wall and I demolished another section of the family room and started with the drywall there.

End of day 3

Almost finished the wall. I can't work on it anymore tonight. It was a miserable day, nothing went right. I hate this crappy house and it's no-square-anywhere walls. Need a few beers and a good night sleep to shake today off. Jamie made fajitas for my birthday which was nice.

End of day 2

Another wall. Realized tonight that I should have ordered long cables for hmdi and component. Had to pay for 2 day shipping to get them here on Thursday.

End of day 1

Cleared the first wall, redid a bunch of electrical work including a total rewire of the entry way box. It has 6 wires running into it. 4 to carry the line back to the attic (don't know why 3 went to the attic) and to the front wall. 1 to the outside porch light, and 1 going to the attic for future use in recessed lighting. Finished with the insulation right before dinner. Tomorrow I'll do the same with wall 2.
