DIY Project

This past Saturday, I helped my friends with a project. They own two townhouses right next to each other and are always going back and forth. To ease this commute, they decided to make a hole in between their two bedrooms. The hole has been there since last March, not quite finished. So this weekend, we decided to try and do what we can to get it done. We started off by filling it up with some foamy insulation.

Then Mimi used her circular saw on a makeshift table to cut some sheetrock to fill in the cracks.

I helped with the drilling. The sheetrock left a fine dust all over everything that sometimes would get into my eyes, so I tried wearing some goggles:

Then we just had to putty it and sand it. That's as far as we could go, though. This final picture doesn't have any of the putty on, but this is what it looks like right now:

It's not pretty. Not yet. But it will be.
