Quicksilver will spend Saturday night here and then we are back-in-battery in daycare mode for the next ten months.
We went with "egg-shell" gloss level for ease of cleaning. Ditto for the wainscoting. Things would have progressed much more quickly if there had not been so much catastrophic damage to the drywall. In retrospect, it would have been much faster to rip out the old and start with fresh, new drywall.
Live and learn. Or don't.
The only thing that is important is that Mrs ERJ is happy.
Happy Wife...
ReplyDeleteLooks great to me ERJ!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteIt really came together at the end.
But
ReplyDeleteDoes the thermostat work?
AC works. We will check the heat when it gets cooler.
DeleteI HATE doing drywall. And each time that I do, I finally start getting fairly good at it around the end of the project.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain.
DeleteI've been in this house for 20 years, and found that latex caulk doesn't hold up long-term. Now I always use 100% silicone.
ReplyDeleteThe caulk is purely for visual. The cuts for the top of the panelling are approximately 1/4 below the upper edge of the rub-molding. Rather than leave a gap, I will fill it with caulk.
DeleteThere should be no flexing or thermal or moisture challenges to the caulk. Latex is very easy to clean-up after applying. That is important to me since this is an appearance application.
Looks good!
