Interior finish

There was a long pause for winter and some learning to do regarding electricity. Eventually Michel put in a few electrical outlets and a box which have not been hooked up yet. Next came several bags of Safe 'n' Sound insulation. And then he had some gyp rock/ drywall board delivered and put that up. He had a lot of help from our oldest son with the drywall board. JJ made very accurate measurements so all the outlets were easily chopped out of the drywall.











Next they began putting in the drywall compound and taping the joints. We ran into a snag here, as JJ broke out into hives after a day of sanding plaster. So that's it for his career as a drywall compound plasterer. Luckily some Benadryl, a lot of aloe vera cream and getting away from the nasty dust solved the problem fairly easily. Makes one wonder what is in it though. Thankfully it is all covered up in white primer for now.
















And finally Michel finished the last wall with pine boards, a rustic look that also has the advantage of being very solid and handy if we plan to tack things up or build a mezzanine.
