Wow, it's a room!

It's funny what things trigger your mind. Something about putting up drywall makes things stop looking like a construction site and start looking like a room. Lots and lots of drywall got put up this week. The entire upstairs is done (including the guest bedroom) and most of the downstairs is done. I knew that drywalling would create a lot of dust, but it really is hard to overstate how much dust there was and still is. They certainly did their best to protect our stuff. You can see in the picture below that my desk was wrapped up so much I thought maybe it was leftovers from a few weeks ago.

The retaining wall is nearly done. Due to the number of steps we needed, the builder ran out of block and had to reorder more. However, there are only about two more steps to go at this point and he has assured us he'll be done tomorrow. It continues to look really great and I promise pictures when it's all done.

Here is the bedroom all drywalled in.

That's my desk under there somewhere.
