Today's project: covering the beams getting them ready for drywall.
Before...
Darby "helping". Uh, yeah, not so much...
But here is her masterpiece!!!
Daryn cleaning up...MDF boards measured, cut and ready to put in place.
Scott showing Darby how to apply carpenters glue...
And she does a FINE job with it.
Scott and Dylan hanging the first one, making sure it fit. Darby will then put a bead of glue down the edge that will be next to the beam. Scott and Dylan lift it up and Dylan will use the brad nailer and nail the top edge into the 2 by's that are above the beam. After the other side is put up as well, we will take the piece that Darby put a bunch of glue on and hold up, the glue being on the bottom of the beam. Daryn and I had to hold them up and squish the side boards together so that Dylan could use the brad nailer to hold it all together. All this so that we could make those beams as little as possible.
Dylan doing his thing. Daryn and I doing our thing!
We did this all across the basement beam. It is ready to be drywalled. Maybe sooner than later!
