Sheetrock & Exterior Stucco




Here we are 3 days later and the entire house is sheetrocked up. It's hard to believe, 1 day to do the entire insulation (every single wall, floor and ceiling creating great sound proofing) and 3 days to rock it all up. It was especially impressive to see 10 people from Alliance Drywall here this past Saturday zipping through the rooms and tackling the exterior paper and stucco preparation. They were all very skilled and the cleanup afterwards could not have been better. Everything passed the City inspection once again on Monday. I think that's the last inspection we'll see before the final now.

This week will see the addition of solar panels to the roof, inside doors (which will be spray painted first in the garage), crown moulding and window/door frame moulding while the taping and inside wall plastering goes on. Alliance will also put the first coating of stucco on the exterior on Saturday. They are finishing up the corners, which will take a few days amount of time versus the metal grid over the large surfaces that took a day.

We're still into great weather here which should last into the end of next week, so the pace should continue to be balls to the wall inside and out. The back yard garden walls are also coming along nicely.
