I had gotten as far as I could. The electrical, speaker, and internet wiring and the TV and HDMI Cabling were in the walls. The ceiling lights had been installed. The walls were caulked from the inside and new insulation install.
For a more than a month we were in wait mode. First hold up was the Holiday season. Not wanting to have a big dusty mess while trying to get through the holidays. Second hold up, the person that we had lined up for the job was at first busy on another job when we called and then fell down a flight of stairs and injured his elbow. So we had to find another sheet rocker.
Asking around we found a great crew. While a little under the line of totally legit, they could come in and whip it out in a week. They did a great job and I was amazed at how fast they completed the work. It was generally a crew of two and probably spent a total of 3 1/2 days over a 5 day period. This would have taken me months to do myself and in the end it would have looked like shit.
It looks great, a light texturing makes the taping invisible. They could have done a little better job at protecting the new electrical plugs I put in, but this isn’t a big negative. It looks so different than just a week ago, that it is surprising each time a wall into the basement.
See the latest pictures below:
It is so much lighter and airier, losing that dank wood paneling feeling that permeated the basement before.
