Drywall Dust will not get me down

Sorry for the delay in posting, we have been busy busy. The contractor made good progress last week on the house and i'm ready for the finishing work to start. The house is a total mess between the removal of the popcorn ceiling and the trench that had to be cut in the slab to make room for electrical in the island. I love my shopvac but I have been abusing it severely. I think I need a new filter or a commercial size replacement (not in the budget).

Tomorrow we expect the plumbing work to be finished & the electrical to start. Drywall finishing should be done by the end of the week but that will depend on our duct work. Apparently we need to move a few things around so we need to call our friend Bill to come out and work on our A/C duct work (not budgeted for either - boo).

Here is our current view from the Living Room
