Dining hall making progress

The dining hall has made great progress in the last month.  Timm did all the taping of seams and screws with several coats and sanding.  Once that was done, one of Chris' coworkers came over and sprayed the texture.  We're glad he did it and it came out looking fabulous.  Paint was chosen and Timm was painting the dining hall that day.  He did a second coat on Sunday.  Once again, we under estimated the amount of paint needed for the project...it took 4 gallons.  There is just one little corner Timm left open for the family of birds.  They left the nest just a few days later.  Now, that part is patched and ready for texture and paint.  We've got the boards for trimming out the windows but won't likely get to them in May since it's filled with BBQ events every weekend.  By the way, you can check the schedule for all the events over at the Trailhound Smokers BBQ blog...just click on the link in the side bar.  The paint color looks great and compliments the siding.  It's looking great and we're really pleased with how it looking.

Dining hall improvements

For Christmas, the boys gave Dad gift cards to work on the dining hall.  A couple of weekends ago, Chris and some of his co-workers hung sheetrock inside the hall.  It was a nice surprise to come home to after our Death Valley trip.  Timm's been taping joints and screws during the week and it sounds like it will be textured and painted next weekend.  Anyone wanna come help?  We'll feed ya some great BBQ.  ;0)
