Next Phase - Taping

So, I don't have any new pictures, but I can promise you, we have been working hard. Travis had Friday off of work and was able to do more siding. The garage is almost sided, so there is just a few other areas and we will be done with siding. Over the weekend, we moved to taping the sheetrock. We rented some tools, so we wanted to make the best use of our rental. Travis had to work this weekend, but we still put in quite a few hours after he was done...probably 11 hours between the two days. The taping tool is called a Bazooka and we were out to prove that taping is all in the tools. Well, the Bazooka works really well, but I also discovered that Travis' friend from Lowe's was a great tool too. His friend used to tape fancy homes around San Francisco, so he knew what he was doing. He was a great teacher to show Travis and I what to do (and what not to do). So a huge thanks to Paul for helping us out! We managed to get a lot of the seams on the walls taped for both floors and filled what seems like a gazillion nail holes. Today we started nailing up the bullnose corners so that we could have rounded corners all around the house. Travis has the next week off of work, so he is going to continue to hang the corners and tape the seams on the ceilings. Probably about Tuesday, Paul is going to come back and show us how to do inside corners and how to work the tools for the second and third coats. So far, we have had a lot of fun taping. I'm not sure if it is more fun because it is different than siding or if we just like taping. Anyway, I apologize for no pictures, but when we were leaving at 9:30 tonight, that was the last thing on my mind! I will try to get some pictures taken (and posted) tomorrow.
