Drywall finishing

[BuckSutherland]

I am in school trying to get a reactor operator license so not much free time. But they are paying me to go so I have money. I hate painting. Wife likes to paint but I would rather drag my balls across a mile of broken glass.

My only regret about this post is that I cant like it 3 or 4 times. Thanks for the laugh. Hire this shitty job done by someone else. First guy gave you a good price. Always pay a little more for someone that gets recommended to you.

They thought they should be done by wednesday this week.

Can I give one small piece of advice: box that support in. It will make everything look so much nicer.

 

[ksgobbler]

It will be boxed it.

So they worked friday and today. Theyve got some sanding to do but should be done monday. Dropped $400 on paint tonight.

Its primed and ceiling painted. Found an issue in that the drywall didnt allow the egress windows to open. Rectifying this currently

Pine ceiling with stain

What kind of stain? Looks good.

Dont want to get too far off topic, but I like the barn doors as well. I have found though that when I build the next house I wont use them in some instances. We have one off the master bed going into the master bath. Makes too much noise closing and opening them in the middle of the night, so lets just say you get used to the sound of "flowing water" in the middle of the night!

Nice!

I’m getting better at flooring. Steam radiator that had no play on the pipe so the 1/4 inch added height screwed me. Tried an extension but then I needed to raise the radiator



Look close I found the closest hole saw to the diameter of the foot and removed the flooring.

We ran out 4 pieces short in one of the bedrooms. But we got one bedroom done. My knees are shot. We have a little more to finish tomorrow after I go get one more box. Can't believe they wantes $2400 to do this.

Do it every day for 10-15 years and you will know why they want $2400. If someone is paying employees and health insurance they are probably skimping by. $2400 wont buy you much health insurance. Its expensive as hell owning a business.

Does your stomach and back hurt at all? I did about a dozen floors with a guy a few years ago and my stomach and back felt like your knees look.
