Albany Project: Fifth Day

The clutter remains -- ladders, scaffolding, cut and un-cut drywall, corner bead, two-by-fours, scraps of this and that, but not nearly as much joint compound as a while ago.

Our finishing work continues. The proscenium arch in the theater has come a long, long way. Now, sheathed in a skim-coat of joint compound, it is almost ready to paint, as are the surrounding walls. Almost, almost.

Further behind is the Oasis. Though every joint now has a coat of mud, much sanding and reapplications remain. The soffits are almost done, too.

With John joining the work crew today, the Theater now has its new door. The closet door is not far behind. Seth has been given a design commission by John to sketch out the marquee. So that, too, may soon be underway.

The projection: two more days of mudding and everything should be ready for a first coat of paint.
