Day 5 and 6




Last weekend we (well, really Erik and the guys) did some drywall and made the door to the hallway. It was quite a process. As they were sawing the door, the camera/studio lights went out. We all assumed that so much lighting in one little room, and then power tools also made us flip the breaker. So we went and turned it back on, and Erik started sawing from the bottom this time. Again, about half way up, the power went out in the room. So we turned the power back on again. Now the cameras were all over the part where Amy and Erik ripped down the drywall. It came down in 1 big piece, and there in the middle of the wall is an electrical cord that is almost drilled through! Through the saving grace of todays power tools, Erik did not electricute himself making the doorway.



This weekend we put in the bathtub/shower, and worked more on the drywall. Erik also did the insulation in the wall around the fireplace. So we have 2 more weeks until the shooting wraps up. That means that I have just under 10 days to get the place painted, tiled, and curtains made - YIKES!

And after all that hard work (and 2 hours mowing the lawn), he and the boys camped in the nicely cut backyard. What a treat for everyone (except Kate who really missed her fellas at bedtime!)
