The last couple weeks have been very busy with getting the drywall installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
This would turn out to be most, but not all, of the finishing materials needed for the job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I hired out the labor, but was responsible for all materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
I never did figure out why they didn’t start with a full sheet on the bottom, or take advantage of the framing design and run the drywall vertically.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Partially due to my own inexperience with calculating drywall and partially due to some of the less efficient ways in which they laid out the sheets, I ended up running out of drywall after the first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The drywall was installed with both glue and screws, reducing the chance of low frequency vibrations causing any rattles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Adam, who dropped everything to meet me at Home Depot before it closed with a van that could hold drywall, we were able to get 22 more sheets on site in a couple of hours of being told we needed more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
There was about 30 sheets of waste, that it took two separate dump runs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For them to finish hanging, I ended up having to get another 8 sheets the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The butt joints were spread out very wide, making them pretty much invisible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a couple days of plastering things were ready to sand and prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The primer was sprayed and then back-rolled, leaving a smooth finish with a very small amount of orange-peel texture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the primer went on, suddenly the place started looking a lot like the renderings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The rigging support beams were covered such that they blended into the top ceiling area, making for a sleek look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The live room ceiling will be all flat black which will make the details much less visible, but I was really glad to see how nice it came out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
