Rock the House! - Steve's House Feb 5, 2010

It's sheetrock night at Steve's house.  You know your friends are true friends when they will help you with sheetrock.

Tonight's Players:

Steve-bay
Concrete Keith
Packrat Paul
Glue Bob
Popsicle Rick
Gator Scott
Mark-with-no-knickname

I came in a little late to find Keith hot wiring the house.  Literally.  At least Mark was avoiding seeing the bright blue flash.

It always stinks being the host because you don't get to do anything because everyone is always sending you to go get stuff.

We could have used Coalfinger's help tonight.  We were all busy.  Scott, Rick, Bob and Paul were putting up the sheetrock on the newly framed back wall.  Paul was in charge of cutting out the outlet holes.  Paul was fired from cutting out the outlet holes.

The bows in the lumber are a pain.  Good thing we've got Bob to push them back into play.

Paul was cutting out the small board in the corner.  Rick had to take his place.  We fired Rick as well and put Bob on it.  Two seconds and done!

I'm not being fair.  We all HATE sheetrock, but Bob loves it.  Want to whitewash the fence, Bob?

Meanwhile Keith and Mark took on the 36" door.  Seems they will need to cut some timber.

"This reminds me of something on a Three Stooges skit!"

A rare glimpse of rick working.  This is just before we fired him from sheetrock cutting.

"Now wait...if we open it that way we hit the roundhouse.  If we open it the other way, we hit the dispatcher.  I know!  Let's just put in the frame and take the door off."

We decided to block up the other door and ran out of lumber.  Paul and Scott jumped in the truck and headed to Lowe's to pick up a 2 x 6 x 10 pressure treated to make a stud and floor cap combo.

Scott measured and sawed the lumber while Bob installed another stud on 16" centers.

There is the floor board.  Just snug!

There is the stud!  Just a hair loose, but that won't matter.  We are gonna sheetrock over it.  This will give Steve a nice long wall with no interuptions.

Bob means business when he's sheetrocking!

Rick is concentrating, too.  One false move and the HOG gets clobbered!  Steve, are you ever gonna sell that thing?

Hey!  A nice door!  Good job guys!

The merriment played on through the evening.  Rick and Scott had to leave early.

Guys, feel free to add or edit!  Let Scott know if you want a pass to post!
