Day 47 - Working on Drywall

We aren't exactly sure when the drywall hanging began, but as of today, it has been hung.  Next week will be mud and tape and I think the trimwork will be the week after that.  Bricks are almost done, too.  We are looking forward to seeing them all shiny and clean with the shutters attached.

Our weekend was partially spent shopping for appliances.  We thought the $1300 upcharge for stainless was a bit ridiculous when we could get a new set of black for FREE.  So the plan is to Craigslist the black and purchase stainless on our own.  We don't mind a bottom-of-the-line range for now, but the dishwasher needs to be better than basic.  We have some "scratch and dent" appliance stores around here and Best Buy has some decent deals on their open box items, so we think we should be able to get a new set of stainless appliances for around $1000.  Then with $700 or so in sales from our unused black appliances, our out-of-pocket expense will be minimal. 

Here are some updated pics.
