We've had progress on a couple fronts. First, there is the door to the attic and second, the initial taping and bedding.
The door to the attic will give us access to take larger things in and out which would not fit through the 18" door at the top of the stairs. The big door will have two deadbolt latches on the outside so the kids cannot open it from the inside. I figured this would be a good defense against the curiosity of the grandkids as they grow older. Wouldn't want them opening the door and tumbling out.

Regarding the drywall, the crew should be back on Monday to continue the good work they have begun. I'm pretty excited about having everything textured, painted and trimmed before I start to move into the shop. I'm thinking I'll paint the floor of the shop and perhaps put Pergo-type flooring in the attic playroom.
