Well, I don't have any update photos to show you this morning since nothing changed in my room yesterday.
Builder man spent the day yesterday addressing the leak in the ceiling (took him a while to find the source of it). Once he finished fixing it and reinsulating the huge hole that had been created in the ceiling, he got started taking out the existing door to the old pantry. That doorway will be widened to wheelchair access width and will be left without a door. The actual door that came off will be put on the new, smaller pantry.
This morning, the drywallers arrived at 8:00am and started right in on their task. They tell me that they will complete the putting up of the drywall today, and they should also be able to tape it all today. Then they have to come in for a couple of hours each day for the rest of the week to "mud" the walls. They expect that the mudding process should finish by Friday of this week, or Monday of next week at the latest. At which point their job will be done.
Of course, we already know that nothing more will happen after that until November 8th because builder man will be hunting.
Today, builder man is busy rebuilding the wall that used to form the pantry door (the one that is being widened to allow wheelchair access). He has to get that room ready so the drywallers can do the drywalling that has to be done in that area while they are here today. So he's hoofing it!
Builder man promises me that once the doorway is readied, he is going to put a plastic barrier up to protect the main house (especially the kitchen) from the drywall dust that is going to be a huge problem.
I can't wait! I'll surely post photos of the nightmare.
