Mud photos

Here are a couple of photos I took this morning of yesterday's mud work:

Already you can see that it begins to look more like a room and less like a disaster area (despite all the wires sticking out).

There were a couple of holes which the drywall crew didn't worry about filling because they were going to be behind cabinets in any case (and so never seen). I don't mind that so much (I'll just erase them from my memory banks), but there was one which I told them I needed them to fill today:

Yes, sadly, we do get the occasional field mouse in the house (in fact we had two this winter). I am told it is one of the perils of living in a 50-year-old house. Well, this particular hole would have been right behind the refrigerator, in a spot which I felt was a little TOO congenial for rodent entry.

They're filling it now.

Today has been a very quiet day. I'll tell you about it later!
