The dungeon wall goes up!

My days of walking from one side of the "dungeon" to the other are now over.  This morning, the guys took my large desk from the old radio room into the new office and then closed up the remaining portion of the separating wall between the radio room and the downstairs bedroom.


Before that, however, they worked on putting up the ceiling in Jason's "man cave" and installed some extra sound-proofing material before installing the sheet rock.  The material was a bit awkward to work with, but the fact that the room is not properly squared made it much more difficult.

Tony measures for the next piece of sheet rock

Now you see through.....
.....now you don't!
The radio room is now separated from the downstairs bedroom


Johnny had to do some work at the hospital project, during the morning, but came back later in the afternoon to continue working on the lower apartment bathroom plumbing.

The "mudders" also returned, this morning, to mud up the walls and ceilings downstairs.  They zip around the place pretty quickly, so I stayed out of the way for most of the day.


As usual, Troy showed up at the end of the afternoon and we did some temporary wiring modifications in the radio room to allow the lights in the downstairs bedroom to have a separate switch for now.  Otherwise, I would have had to go outside to get to the radio room, each night, in order to turn off the lights on the other side of the wall.


After that was done, Troy went outside to the master bedroom/bathroom to channel out some of the block and install electrical boxes in various locations.

Tomorrow, the construction team will be working at the hospital project, so only the two other guys will be here to continue the next phase of the mudding process.
