Casa de las Ratas Week 34
up to September 21, 2002
More drywallin' at the Rat House!
 |
Paco and Manny finished up the kitchen and dining room.
Nice arch! |
 |
Teamwork.
|
| I installed a little box in the third bedroom closet to house all the satellite TV, ethernet, and telephone wiring hubs. |
 |
|
Manny and Paco installed the green drywall in the laundry room.
|
 |
Martin and Ricardo worked on the living room drywall. Here they are measuring the cutouts for the ceiling beams. |
|
I worked with the power tools all day and framed in some little alcoves flanking the living room entryway. Might as well use the cubic space. |
