Trailer Trash and Proud of it!
Posted on October 17, 2013 by
I can see light at the end of the tunnel. The final steps are all coming together SO FAR! But before I share what has happened this week, I wanted to share a mini-documentary of those friends I have captured hanging around with us as “trailer trash!”

Indeed the drywall process is a mess but I am staying out of the house as much as possible. This week, the house was drywalled and is nearly complete with the wall board. Next week starts the “mudding” process and I guess “I ain’t seen nothin yet!”
Here are a few shots of that I took of progress inside.
Jack’s college roomie from Knoxville, TN helped finish the Koontz Deck and the Friends and Family Front porch in addition to some interior framing. Thanks Kenny!
I love the rock covering the concrete foundation along the driveway! Thanks to my sister for giving us the numbers for our birthdays in March!
From upstairs looking into the great room toward the master bedroom.
The entry hallway. Note the Time Capsule by the door. Twice the dry wallers have moved it thinking it didn’t belong there. I have discussed it now with them!
Here is the link to the blog about the Time Capsule.
The tile guy tiled around the gas fireplace. The mantle is yet to be mounted but check out the closet full of drywall!
On a side note, I did go to the orthopedist today and got a shot of cortisone. It hasn’t helped much. I have an MRI scheduled for next week to see if this injury from falling through the porch joists is a cartilage tear. Not sure what next steps are.
In the meantime, the light at the end of the tunnel is keeping us both going!
Have you thought about putting a copy of the Bedford Landings Blog (to date) in the time capsule, or maybe a memory stick. Phil
