As of this afternoon, most of the drywall is up. One of the guys was going around zipping in screws in the middle areas of the drywall sheets (called "the field"). They nail the perimeter. Would be much happier if they used screws everywhere to avoid future nail pops but can't control that. Was disappointed to see entire sheets with only 6 to 8 screws total in them. Very poor in many places as evidenced by several places where it looks good with many screws in. Will address with FM.
Stone guys starting to add stone veneer. Looks good so far.
On the way down to see the house we saw this van in front of us. Gotta love a Star Wars geek right Rodney?
standing in dining room looking across foyer to living room (Office). Arches turned out good so far.
Did your drywall guys have any problem with you putting in the arches? Looks good!
ReplyDeleteNo, they did not have any problems with the arches. The crew that hangs the drywall is supposed to wet the paper on the back to make the skinny piece confirm to the arch. If they don’t wet it, the piece may crack in places. However, the guy that comes in after the hanging crew is finished to complete the initial mudding will use a wide enough knife to span both sides of the corner bead that will fill any imperfections with mud and is easy for them to do. We also have rounded corners that will make the arches look very nice once completed.
