Drywalled the stairwell and turned the corner into the compressor room....now I'm out of drywall. I have a bunch of drops so I'll see where it makes to use them but I don't know how I missed the count by so much knowing I have extra insulation and it's clearly the same area I was trying to cover.

And so do we!

Are you putting in any way to circulate the air between top and bottom floors?

Yeah, the stairs :)

The real plan is a 3 zone mini-split system with air handlers in the main shop, powder room, upstairs.....on the list. Right now its warm when the downstairs is warm, come summer I suspect it will be horrible until the mini-split system is installed but a fan will hopefully make it tolerable until then.

Finished the west wall last night and put a powerline wifi set in Lana's Amazon cart....in case she's wondering what I what I might like to find under the tree.

I worked late Friday and finished the drywall upstairs AND put on the 1st coat of Mud. More seems than normal as I used up as many drops as possible. Saturday was mostly family day, but with a little time to install outlets and covers downstairs and start picking up.

This morning will be a first....I'll use the shop to do some car work! I need to replace brake pads on Lana's car and wheel sensors on mine. Then the cleanup and mudding will continue.

Are you using the paper or the mesh tape on the seams? I used to use the mesh but then had a friend in the business that showed me how to properly use the paper and now that's all I use.

Funny...my grandfather taught me with paper, then I discovery mesh :)

There was a time when I'd go back and forth....and I like that paper sands.......but I use mesh pretty much exclusively these days. It costs more but pretty much never goes wrong no matter how sloppy or not dry the gaps are under it.

The paper gave me fits until my buddy that does it for a living showed me how to use it properly. Before it always seemed to bubble up or peel. Now that I know the tricks I use it all the time and never have a problem.

I only have problems with paper when I'm doing something stupid....which is more often than it should be. I think if I used the water mix hardening stuff as a base and let it at least mostly dry as you suggested I'd have no problems. With mess I can do most anything and it works out ok....sometimes takes a long while to finally dry, especially if I paint while it's still wet......as I did when I painted the 1st floor. :oops: ..
.but it came out fine

I left upstairs unfinished and shifted gears to the floor. I made a separate threat thinking other might want to chime in on floor options and results:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=318&p=4408#p4408

I have it nearly empty now. The plan is get the prep finished this week and sealer on Saturday or Sunday at the latest. I bought an oil based sealer because I have never had good luck with water based anything... ..
