5,341 steps
Another long work day in the communist apartment. I used the entire 25 kg bucket of sheetrock mud in 2 days! We need to make another trip to the big home improvement store for more mud, sand (for doing the lime mortar), masking tape, tuck pointing trowels, and a few other miscellaneous items. Maybe tomorrow.
While I was taping and mudding, Zari and Ivy sanded down the screws that had been mudded over with the first coat. Dio helped Eric frame the little right-angle wall that will cover up the main sewer stack/plumbing lines/electrical lines. Eric also installed drywall on the upstairs hallway ceiling and on the back of the shower wall. Inga painted the 2nd coat of waterproofing membrane until we ran out of paint.
Zari had soccer practice start up again this morning. The kids helped much of the afternoon on and off. They have this habit of disappearing and wandering back upstairs when we're not paying attention!
At the end of the work day, I could only convince Inga and Ivy to come swimming. I gave Zari and Dio a choice: come swimming, or stay at home and clean (fold laundry, clean the dining table, sweep, & vacuum). They chose option #2! Okay, but in my imaginary teenage universe I'd rather go to the beach than clean :)
Today Eric remarked, "This is going to be a sweet apartment." It's so fun to see it coming together after months of destruction. I'm so excited to do the pointing on the exposed rock wall...to paint...to lay tile and flooring...all that is super fun stuff.
