Friday we bought the paint we would need for all of the downstairs except our bedroom. We had intended to get things started but I had to do a lot of running around for a couple of customers so the day's time got ate up. We need to first go through the house and use a shop vac to make sure there isn't any dust or residue from the drywall finishing that could get stirred up and on the wet paint.
The drywall finishing turned out looking really good. Bill Thompson and Jimmy Walker did the job. I was happy with their work but it took much longer than we were quoted because they sub out the hanging, tape, and mudding. Bill and Jimmy then come in and do only the finishing. The entire job required 240 - 4x12 boards, 3 - 4x8 green boards, 41 buckets (60 lbs each) of mud, and 2 - 500 ft boxes of microbead for the corners. They preferred to use the paper backed corner bead because the paper blends into the mud and results in fewer chances of future cracks. Their work is guaranteed for 2 years.
I hope to have gravel poured early in the coming week and concrete poured by the middle or end of the week.
