We have made a lot of progress on Kim and Mark’s house over the past three weeks. A crew from Stockton California insulated the whole place in two days, then did a good deal of the sheet rock for the remainder of the week. They had Kim and her daughter over for dinner on Friday night and it was fun to hear all of Kim’s knowledge on the history of New Orleans. The next group was from Oregon, and by the end of the week they’d finished all of the sheetrock. This week, as a group from Florida finished siding and painting the outside of the place, AHL wall professional drywall finishers came in and mudded the place in two days.
