Day 5. Drywall


Today all of the walls were supposed to be ready, textured and all, for cabinets on Monday but the cabinets were pushed till Tuesday. The drywall only received one mud layer. More mud and texture for Monday.

You can see in this picture the soffits have been removed and drywall now covers the spot. All of the little holes to fish wires have now been covered up. Even the little rat hole is gone.

Here's a shot of the larger soffit on the exterior wall. You can't see it but there's a wire running from the outlet on the left up and over to the corner where the upper cabinet is going to go. This is so that if we ever decide to install puck lights in the upper cabinets, we can draw power and install an outlet above the cabinets. This "feature" was removed from the work request in order to try and keep costs down. Overall it really doesn't add much additional work to the job.

This is what happens when you have a nail gun.

Here you can see additional framing for the lowered wall. Also I had them put some insulation in the walls where the dishwasher is going. This combined with the new dishwasher should make it quiet as a mouse.

We had our contractor move our dining room light junction box over a little. The old light doesn't fall on the center of the table we ordered especially with the new buffet we just got.
