textured and ready for paint

Tape was finally completed last week, and the fellows textured Friday afternoon. Tape seemed to take forever. I suppose most of that time is expected since the walls needed three layers of tape and each had to fully dry and be sanded before the next layer could be put on. Plus the whole lot had to be sanded before it was textured. Add in some really severe weather and a weekend and yup ... it took a while.

Happy to have all that behind us so we can forge ahead to paint!
The texture looks a little sickly in these photos because I photographed the walls immediately after the crew left and the texture was still quite wet in some areas.


The Bison Booties studio (Kya absolutely loves her little doorway and checks on it each time we go downstairs)


The family/theater room.

The lighted room behind is our storage room ... which is FILTHY with sheetrock dust. Filthy I tell you. We're running low on toilet paper and I'm quite sure I have a good supply of it on a shelf down there but after one attempt at getting to it (and getting very dusty) I gave up and will buy more at the store tomorrow. All our storage is protected by plastic draping (which has a thick layer of sheetrock dust on it). Good thing toilet paper doesn't have a expiration date. Getting that storage room cleaned will be a task all itself.
