Mudding has definitely sent me back a bit. On Saturday evening, I reviewed my schedule and what needs to get done prior to carpet installation. Still a lot to accomplish: finish mudding, drywall paint, paint, baseboards, leveling for tile, tile, installing doors, installing bathroom fixtures, installing bar components and framing outside door and windows. So, I ended up cancelling my Sunday plans and taking most of this week off to get back on schedule.

Sunday afternoon, I started painting with drywall wall primer. Woo, drywall really sucks up this paint. Today I will pick up the rest of the material to finish this job.

Yep, priorities in life tend to change every now and then. Parts for my engine build still coming in. Looking forward to getting back to the build.

Well driving back from Lowes early this morning, hopefully the last time for my basement project, my Tahoe entered the 300K club. Onward to the 400K club.

My wife finally picked out the color she wanted so this week will be spent painting, installing baseboards, bathroom fixtures, bar components/fixtures. Carpet installation moved up (they had an opening on Saturday, so I have my work cut out for me - but it's doable.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend and took some quiet time to reflect:
“This is the day we pay homage to all those who didn’t come home. This is not Veterans Day, it’s not a celebration, it is a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom"
And to spend this special day with those close to you. I know I did - My grandbabies:

@Miami-Dade Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I did have some help with the putting the drywall up and my son in-laws (great young men) helped with the drywall painting and door installations (7 doors).

Made some good progress these past couple of days. Painting complete. Tomorrow - work on installing toilet, other bathroom components, bar cabinets, counter/sink and refrigerator. Not critical for carpet install but I'm going to try and get it completed. On schedule for carpet installation on Saturday:
Looks awesome Bob.
