The garage - Days Three and Four

Enclosed old window, wall, and installed windows
Some more pictures of the process.   It literally took the majority of the time my dad and stepmom were here to get everything up, framed in and form rooms along with the electrical work put in.  I am sure they were sad yet kind of glad to go.  I was truly hoping that they would be able to relax a little while they visited.  I think the only day we really relaxed a bit was on Thanksgiving Day.
Once we were able to finish these things, the division for the rooms was able to be made, the beams went up along with the enclosing and insulation.  It was so exciting to have an extra two rooms, and one specifically for our future child or children.  To assist with holding up the sheetrock, Jared used some empty paintcans as height extensions with the help of a little duck tape wrapped around the cans and his shoes.  Eventually, we made some T's out of 2x4's to hold up the sheetrock while it was being screwed in.  Linda and I did the holding.
