10-04-2010: Taping & bedding, day 1

The taping & bedding guys started this morning and really got a lot done (no 3 hour lunch breaks for these guys!).  They got all of the sheetrock seams taped except the ones at the very top of the vaulted ceiling in the living room.  They also got some nail holes filled and the bullnose corner pieces (for rounded corners) installed on windows & 90 degree corners.  The 45 degree corners haven't been done yet.  It looks good.  The looks probably won't change a lot until they start putting texture on the wall.

The small garage door was installed today, and the dented panel on the larger door was replaced.  We'll add the garage door openers after we get all of the texture on the walls.

Rick is working on the floor area in the attic over the kitchen.  It's an unexpected space because the vaulted ceiling was originally supposed to go all the way through the kitchen to the wall.  We changed it to keep from having external bracing across the living room ceiling, but now we have a fairly large area that we could make into some kind of room in the future.  Rick is just strengthening the floor and moving some boards around before all of the taping and bedding is done to prevent possible ceiling/joint cracking in the future if we did a lot of work on the area.
