Our weekend at home

Hey ya'll- we had a great time this past weekend of going home to Rupert and while we relaxed and had fun, we were also hard at work. Venita woke up Saturday morning determined to help with some kind of project that day. Let me give you a quick disclaimer, we basically have two channels at our house, Disney and HGTV (home and garden televesion), and HGTV has inspired Venita to take on design as a sort of hobby. She's good at it- don't get me wrong but we don't have much to work with at our apartment here in SLC. Luckily there is plenty to help with up in Rupert though!!!
Venita decided that morning that she didn't like the faux wood panelling in the basement (this of course is my side of the story) and insisted on putting up drywall. She sent dad to the lumber yard while we worked at tearing down the existing wall.


Once he returned with the supplies, we started the whole fun process. Dad measured and cut the pieces, I secured the drywall, and Venita did a wonderful job of taping up the seams and covering the screws. Quite the team, huh?


After a few hours we got it all done and started making plans for our next visit. We'll need to choose a color of paint and layout for the room, but for now we're going to let Venita take care of all that. Here's a picture of our completed work for the day- we still have a ways to go!
