Stripping down an old room -

Here's a little bit about me.  I suffer from aches and pains, more so than the usual aging aches - my dr thinks its fibromyalgia and that could very well be.  I've spent a lot of money on tests and they're all negative for the usual -arthritis, etc. 

I refuse to let this slow me up.  I got stuff to do and no time to be sick - I work full time at Principal Financial Group and spend as much time as possible with my sons and grandsons.  I also want a nice house and nice things so its either get off my azz and do things for myself or win the lotto.  

I decided it was time to tear out an upstairs bedroom and make it mine.  
With  the help of my sons Jesse & Matt and Grandson Daniel I got it to the bare studs

 Of course around here its Safety First! 
At the bare stud these walls look to me like a blank sheet of paper - what to do, what to do?

Stay tuned!!!

After spending $560 to have an electrician rewire the room, big thumbs up to Al's Electric in St Ansgar IA, I was able to insulate and drywall - so here's the next phase -
Drywall up - mud comes next!!!


That far pocket door in the last - that's got its own story.
