Just a quick note on progress - sheetrock started going up last week! The bedrooms are mostly covered, and most of the remainder plus the mud coats will start this week. We learned recently from our friends Fred and Stella that there are different
levels of drywall. We're doing Level 4 (out of 5), which isn't "perfectly smooth" but is a fairly standard smoothness and is good for paint with really light texture. We aren't putting texture in the paint, per se, but the colors will be matte and there will be a rollered layer for a slightly more natural look (more on our paint choices later). Plus, according to our contractor, Level 4 is much easier to blend with any touch-up work.
Pictured: above, some sheetrock in the office. Below, the moisture-proof sheetrock encapsulating what will someday be a half-bathroom off the hallway but which will remain unfinished (and hidden) for this first phase.
