Sheetrock On Kitchen Ceiling

Yesterday, the city's building inspector signed off our electrical work in the kitchen.  The sign-off on the electical work means I can install the dry-wall over the areas the soffits used to be.  I had to wait for the electrical inspection to be done before hanging the drywall so the inspector could see the electrical work.

Last night, after work, I came home, tore down the plastic covering the openings into the attic, cut the sheetrock, and screwed it into the kitchen ceiling.  We look forward to no more attic insulation falling down into the kitchen.

I have church meetings tonight so I will not have a chance to get sheetrock installed on the walls until tomorrow or Saturday.

April is almost done coming up with the process we will use to apply the gell stains to the cabinets.  The technique she is using is producing a rich dark brown with a touch of red.  In order to get this color April applies layers of three different Gel stains: Java, Candlelight  and Cherry.  The layers of the different gel stains create an effect similar to nice multi-color clear coat paint jobs on cars.  It's an amazing look and I can't wait to show it off when it's ready.  We can't take credit for the idea to layer different gel stains.  The experts at Woodcraft of Salt Lake City/South Valley suggested this to April.  They explained that this is the technique that makers of fine heirloom qualilty furniature use.  It shows.
