Intheswamp Ok here's where we're at. After some mixups the wiring is done, the insulation is in and the drywall was delivered. Yesterday, the sand for the stucco was dropped off so we are hoping for it to be started today...keeping fingers crossed. At least, we are ready for the Pink Panther to move in.

The finish line is near! Looking good, but I have a real question. How do you keep those blinds so clean??? They've been featured often in this thread over a couple months' time. I'd be terrified if I had to shoot pictures through the blinds at my place.

Lol!! My breathing probably blows away any dust that settles on them when I'm taking the pictures.

The room is an empty bedroom and the blinds were probably new when we moved in. I only go in there to take the pictures, maybe that's why there isn't much dust.

Just look at that big sand pile. Hope you don't have any stray cats in your neighborhood. LOL

Been over two weeks... time for an update!

And, Don jakesrocks , what have you done with the large shipping container you had placed in your backyard many months back? You need to post an update on that somewhere as well.

Aye Aye Capt.

Been sorting & stacking boxes of rocks along the back wall. Shipping container got taken over by the wife for a while when her mothers house was put up for sale. Now have the whole container back. As soon as the mud around it dries, (damned rain), I'll be prefabbing shelves for the back & one side wall.

They finally started on the drywall. I will try and post pictures this evening. This is taking forever. It's frustrating. If they would work on it everyday it would have been done a long time ago. But they get a part done and then we wait for a week or two before they do something else.

Frustrating for sure. But the shop is looking fantastic.

Isn't there a door from your shop into the main part of the building? Always nice to have more than one way out of a place if needed, and also more air circulating may be a good thing.
