it's drywall time-part two!

The second part of drywalling is the taping and mudding. For several days the drywall crew has been putting up drywall tape and mudding the seams. They put brown paper down on the floor and a clear, plastic "curtain" between Mom's kitchen & living room and the dining nook & addition because this part of the process is very, very messy--even more than dusty drywalling! After that, they sanded rough spots and then textured the walls and ceilings.

Drywalling is a messy job!

They put this brown paper down throughout the addition to contain the mess.

The crew uses stilts to tape and mud the ceiling. Mom was able to persuade this crew member to pose for a picture.

Metal edges were added to all corner joints.

The windows are going to have sheetrocked edges. There will be a wood sill.

Here's some of the drywalling/mudding mess.

Here's the old garage door location--all drywalled, taped, mudded and ready to go!
