It took 1 year to do the infrastructure, and 1 year to do the finishes. One year ago today, a huge truck dropped off 400 sheets of drywall, each weighing 72lbs. Six of us lugged them upstairs, two at a time, 130 per floor. Cindy got us pizza to keep us going. These were for the ceilings, and 100s more came for the walls, but we had turned a corner. From this point on we were closing things up and working on finishes!
