Sanding and Painting the Furnace Room

August 8, 2023

Another work day, another evening suited up in the furnace room. This time, Liz and I were tackling things together – taking turns, and at times sanding different parts of the room together.

We’re heading out of town soon, and we didn’t want to be a blocker for Bob’s work on the HVAC up here. The space is super tight (by design), and Bob can’t finalize the placement of the furnace until we mud, tape, and paintthe walls. Because once he puts in the furnace and ductwork, there’s no way we’re going to be able to reach the walls.

This was a big reason why Liz was working so much, and so hard, since the weekend. We needed several passes, and time in between for the mud to dry. And time enough to actually get a coat of paint on, before we left.

It ended up being a late night, but we got it done. I was tired, but nowhere near as exhausted as Liz… who’s been at this since Sunday. Still, glad we cleared the way for Bob to work, before we left.
