The installation and mudding of the drywall is officially complete. Well, basically complete. There is still a section in the existing house, a door that was closed in, that they forgot early in the process, so they will need to come back and sand that section again. But besides that, everything is done and sanded. However, during the two hours I spent cleaning the fine drywall dust particles from everything our existing bedroom, I noticed that there is still a long way to go before it is prepped properly for painting. I brushed up against one of the walls and a shower of dust came down. A pushbroom rubbed on the wall released a much thicker shower. So, I will have to hit all of the walls and ceilings with the pushbroom in order to get all of the drywall dust off the walls and onto the floor, so I can track that all over the house.
Next step, spreading 20 gallons of paint and primer. If I can get the walls prepped on Wednesday, I can start painting Thursday night. Think I may take Friday off, so I will have a very big stretch to get about 1,900 square feet of our house painted...walls and ceilings. The main level of half the existing house, the new stairwell, and the main level of the addition will get the top priority. The basement is secondary at this point and is pretty dependent on how sick of painting I am at that point.
