This week I headed out to a local build site with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh so complete my hours. On the first day I was handed a N-95 mask so I knew I was in for some fun. We spend the day sanding and re-mudding the walls while a couple regular volunteers framed a door. The process was slow going, but we were able to cover the screws and fill in most of the imperfections. I have always wanted to do some dry walling so I can halfway cross that off my to do list.
By the time I showed up three days later a lot had already been done (tile floors installed, most of the re-mudding finished and first coats of paint applied). Day two was filled with a little more sanding and some major painting. While it was always great to frame houses, install floors and get my hands dirty with landscaping, after a long stretch of biking it was nice some days just to paint. There is something very zen about edging and rolling some paint on a wall.
