Basement Part 2

Written by – April 24, 2010

It’s been a little over 4 months since the last home project update. Since then, we have hung the drywall in the basement, mudded over all of the imperfections caused from amateur drywallers, mudded some more only to realize that our mudding skilz were less than average. Overall, it was a very tedious, many lessons learned process that took 3x longer than I expected. In hindsight, hiring the drywall out would have been worth it, but in the same sense there’s a great sense of accomplishment completing and learning with the DIY method.  They say building is all of about having the right tools and I concur. Some life savers included; the corner trowel for mudding, a drywall lift for hanging on the ceiling, and a sprayer for texturizing. Fortunately, Katie was able to use her connections and hook us up with all. Without her, we’d still be staring at 2×4 studs.

Next up, painting. Michelle’s favorite!
