Yep ... I'm sore.

Saturday was the day we began the excruciating process of putting drywall up in our basement.

* It is of vital importance to have friends who are handy.
* I am not one of those handy people.
* Drywall cutting creates a lot of dust.
* Putting drywall up is only one part of the project.
* I can't thank my friends enough for all their help this weekend.

When we complete the basement, I'll take some pictures - give you a before and after view of it.

Since I'm exhausted, I'll share this pic that my friend Yon sent me:

    I'm doing a little home improvement myself. Interior painting, and staining that new deck of mine. I'm sore as well.

    I was very impressed that you were doing the work yourself.

    Great finally meeting you in person.

    Tapeing the corners and sanding them down... not so much fun.

    Good luck.

    I am pretty sure drywalling is the the hell of contracting.

    Snow - I couldn't do it without 'em!

    Heff - I stained the deck last year ... we have lattice work, not fun at all!

    Rev - that's why I didn't call ...

    Sandi - Not by myself ... with friends who know what they're doing.

    Schue - it's gonna look great!

    Reverse - not fun at all - that's why we need woodwork!

    ElP - If only you lived closer ...

    Kristin - My dad is so handy ... and I'm not.

    Jeff - Hey-yo!

    Melissa - Sadly, the work gets sloppier ... sigh.
