Media Room 11/12/05

After a 2 week hiatus, I picked up the slack a little bit but without Simon because he was busy.

Let me tell you, things are slower when you have to do it yourself.
Amazingly, I put up a 12 foot wall section myself without a whole lot of effort. I managed to catch all my mistakes before nailing the wall together. It's amazing how smooth the wall went up when you calculate correctly and catch all the mistakes before assembling the wall. I also hit a milestone today in that I emptied my first box of those 2 3/8 bostich framing gun nails. Damm, that's alot of nails.

Here's what the media room looks like so far:



Oh another tip. As you can see in the picture above, never buy 16ft lumber. they suck because they tend to warp. Either that or Home Depot sent me warped boards thinking that since I had it delivered, I would have no means to bring it back. Those Fockers.

So after one wall, it was around 3pm so I got lazy. I decided to finish up all the little things we missed earlier that were required for drywall. This like this little ad-hoc framing job for the framing:

Hey cool, the stupid double spacing went away!

Well, that's it. Next week Simon promised to help me out so hopefully we we can knock out the media room and move on to the "poker room". That will once again require a soffit.

At this rate, I'm hoping to finish the Framing by end of the year.
