MY HARD WORKING MAN!

We're finally getting a new porch ceiling! Our roof leaked during the hurricanes of 2004 and the drywall has been slowly falling down ever since! Our roof was replaced 2 years ago, but Gene just never found the time to tackle the ceiling....until now! We went to Home Depot Friday night and ordered the wood he is going to put up. That was another reason it has taken so long, he could never decide what he wanted to put up. He knew he didn't want drywall up again, and finally decided on tongue and groove cedar. We are planning on a working vacation in July, so he decided to go ahead and get a head start on it!


Getting started. Cutting through the drywall to tear it down.





It's coming down!





He's smiling! I think he's happy it's coming down too!







It's all down. What a mess! Now we have to get rid of all these drywall pieces! My job was picking up the pieces and carrying them to one end of the porch and holding the dust pan!

Now, if we can just keep going at it, we might not have to have a working vacation after all!
