wow, just stumbled across this thread.
Very cool! Checked out every page.
I do have one question tho. If you happen to wanna get into the ceiling in the living room down the road to change a fixture or run a wire or something, is there a means to get in there?

My new pad needs a lot of drywall and texture work and I'm trying to decide if i should tackle it myself (never done it) or hire someone. I keep getting mixed messages... sounds like something thats easy to do, but hard to do well

Drywall is very hard to get right. Hanging is a piece of cake. Finishing is another story.
And Dubby, you are right, I had to address that stud tonight when I was drywalling the master bedroom. There are some things that the framer did that I am not real happy with, but those types of things do happen if meticulous attention is not paid.
Put 12 more sheets up tonight, hoping I can keep that pace up. If so, I should be ready for finish around the end of March.

Pics from last night's work:
:edit: I apologize for the constant pic updates, but this is the best way to keep me motivated right now. It has been a long winter and the weather is just starting to change and I have been in kind of a funk lately.
Living Room
Living Room/Stairwell
Guest Bedroom
There was also sheets put up in the master, but the pic didn't come out right for some reason. Will take more when I finish up tonight.
Tonight my goal is to get all of the outside walls in both guest bedrooms finished, which is about 8 sheets.
