Sheet Rock, Pt. 3
A visual feast of sheet rock geometry and architectural lines, taken from the second floor landing. To the left is the second floor bedroom. The stairs drop between the cats.
Tomorrow the sheet rock crew (the "rockers" who hang the stuff) will finish up the first floor and complete most of, if not entirely finish, the basement. They'll be followed by the tapers and mudders who'll take a full week and a half to two weeks to get a smooth finish on the first and second floors. Since the second floor and basement bedrooms already have sheet rock with textured finishes, we'll complete patching in both of those rooms with matching texture.
Texture is sprayed on and conceals imperfections in sheet rocked walls and is less time consuming than a surface with a smooth finish. We don't mind a low profile texture, but sometimes it can get out of hand. One of the bedrooms at our last house had a textured finish so severe that a knuckle drag across the wall got you bloody fingers.
