November 28th: Britton and I finished framing the walls that are separating our current living room into a hallway and 3rd bedroom. We'll be leaving the door open for now and using the smaller space as our new mini-living room untill the addition is finished. Above you can see the electrical boxes in place and the back side of the drywall. Today (the 29th) needs to be atleast somewhat of a cleaning day with our homestudy visit tomorrow (Thursday, the 30th), so we'll see how far we get with the wiring, insulation, and inner drywall before then.
Above you can see the framing completed and the sawdust mess I clean nearly every day! It is worth it for the work we're accomplishing. Soon we'll have a very nice living and dining area with a third bedroom to boot!
Here is the framing, showing the door and the new hallway, as well as the drilled holes for our wiring to run through. Time to rearrange the living room contents! Our house is quite disheveled with all the changes.
And lastly, the hallway with the new drywall in place. We aren't going to bother with trying to mud and tape by Thursday, we'd rather get the wall completed with drywall on both sides and some electrical (Maybe even lighting?) first. We are sure making progress!
