    Mudd is cheap but we used two 5 gallon buckets of the green top and two of the dark blue so far :p it was way cheaper to just do this myself than to hire a contractor to do all this work:rolleyes:

    I am thinking in February or there abouts. The mudding and sanding may be done before Christmas and if so painting will not take more than a week or two :) after that the floors will be installed and the finishing things like trim can be put in :) I will be plumbing though as soon as I can :D
