Drywall

I’ve done plenty of sheetrock and mudding, but most of the time it doesn’t make for good photos. You know, drywall is often lackluster, but very necessary (a lot of the time at least).

In the first image (1), there was a giant hole in the ceiling of the bump-out from where I removed soggy sheetrock after an improperly built second-story deck caused water damage. The previous builder did not float the framing and used screws that were too long to attach the decking. As a result, water slowly damaged the affected area through perforations in the underlayment. (The homeowner wanted to save money, so that’s why you see some of my mudding job as they hadn’t yet painted the lid.)

The next four images (2-5) showcase a cabin where another subcontractor and I hung, mudded seams, and texturized all the drywall. The place was still a mess when I took photos, so these are the only images I’ve included that cropped the clutter out. The fifth image (5) simply shows what the outside of the augmented A-frame cabin looks like. I happened to do a small amount of the siding and landscaping (unfortunately the fire pit is out of the picture), but I still wanted to display the sharp work the local Missoula-based Brome crew did as a whole on that one.

Finally, a repeat picture in the final image (6) is displayed where I did damage control on the drywall.
