*sigh*
This is why:
Nothing is straight! It takes us hours to hang a couple of panels. 
Even then, we have gaps. I know things will look better once I spackle…. but the gaps make me perturbed. I will have to buy crown molding as cheap insurance from those nasty gaps. I do NOT want to be eating a sumptuous meal only to have those gaping holes staring down at me, lol.
The Dining Room is almost finished. We have two small panels left. Then, I spackle. I’ve done a little patching already, but not nearly enough. It’s been so humid here in Upstate New York, that you could hang out laundry on the line, and it will be wetter than it was coming out of the washer, LOL. The humidity saps my energy… after a few frustrating days trying to work in the soaking-wet heat, we decided to wait until it cools a little.
I have purchased my cabinets, and I ordered my countertops. Things are looking good. I’d better hurry up and finish this project.. we are totally out of room for storing all the boxes of new stuff now!

Don’t get discouraged now. You are nearing sort of the finish line. I am sure you will get that sheetrock up and it won’t look too bad. Glad you are waiting til it gets a little cooler. Take care and take it easy. You do know if you get too tired, you won’t do a good job.
Hugs to Livvy.

Yay! It’s a room! Or at least nearly a room. You are in the middle of it, so you can’t see how far you’ve come, but those of us who have been following you on your blog can. This has been one huge, massive job, and during a huge, massive heat wave too! I can’t wait to see the finished product!
