You may have noticed the new window previously, but since then volunteers have put in over 300 hours of work so far, fixing and updating the upstairs.
As of today, all the old dark brown paint/stain is covered with new primer, ready for the final painting. The new drywall around the new windows is installed, jointed, and mostly primed, ready for painting. Broken moulding has been replaced, staples and nails removed, holes filled and sanded, stairway cleaned and primed, and fireplace stonework has been cleaned of 40 years of soot. The overhead has been enclosed with a new wall and the heating ducts are being rerouted. New lighting is also being installed.
The vaulted ceiling has had the fake beams removed and the drywall seams and nailheads covered with joint compound and some priming applied, ready for the real paint.
We're taking a three week break and will start again on December 3rd. All volunteers are welcome and there is plenty of work to go around. There's probably still about 200 hours of work still to do. And if you have drywall mudding experience and aren't afraid of heights, we REALLY need you.
