Progress with Dad's Help

Dad and I have been working hard in the evenings.  We are focusing on cutting plywood for the cabinets while it is still light outside, and then after a bite to eat we work on mudding.

Here are the cabinets so far:

I know, they don't look like much.  That is about a third of the pieces we need.

Last night Dad just spotted the screws, but tonight he had to learn to tape corners since there are so many to do.  We are about halfway done with the seams.  I'd love to have them done, but half isn't bad for only two hours of work.

Dad has also been working on cabinets during the day.  These are the door fronts for the bunny boxes.  The lighter-brown ones in the back are the paper trays for the school room.  I can't wait to get that plastic thing off the counter!

Dad mounted the guides on all the drawers in the girls' room:

We decided we need to buy additional guides for those huge drawers at the bottom.  I'll order those when I order drawers for the bathrooms.

Doesn't your room look better with all that stuff moved back out, Eleanor?

Maybe not all that exciting.  We only have a few hours of serious productivity in the evenings, and the big change—installing the cabinets—has many hours of work before there is anything to see.
