A lot of mud, a lot of heat...and a coat of primer

This thing is HOT.

60,000 BTU's of heat are being pumped into the new room ... and since it runs on diesel, well, our house is - well, it smells like a hot truckstop parking lot. No need to turn the heat on around here.

You might wonder why in the world we have this 60,000 BTU powerhouse? It is drying the drywall mud - and it's working!

Tomorrow, Al will sand some more, and then apply some more mud.

Thursday... Colin comes to start building the hearth. YEAH!


I didn't want you to get the wrong idea and think the cleaning lady had visited our house. (Even though the only 'cleaning lady' around here is me!) You know how corners can be...well, this one has all the 'stuff'. You can also see a different angle from the 60,000 BTU heater.
A coat of primer also went on the outside of the addition today. Pete had it tinted, so it looks pretty normal. Actually, the color it's tinted isn't exactly the same color as the house ...but it's close - and it's only primer.
