Wall texture and diligence

The GC pointed out a window that didn't have perfectly level drywall around it such that the window itself looked crooked. Good thing he caught it!! I did not even *think* to look at that!

Also, another awesome thing about our GC: he's going to put wooden casing around our family room patio door and transom window...no extra charge!!! In his mind, it's a necessary detail because it'll make the home more beautiful.

Today, his crew is applying the second layer of mud on the drywall as well as sanding the mud on the drywall. After they do that, they can start applying texture to the walls and then sand the walls again. He showed me the different wall textures although he said that it might be more obvious after he applies primer to the samples (the textures will show through more). So we'll have to go in this weekend and take a look.

We also passed the kitchen insulation inspection as well as the powder room waterproofing/plumbing inspection.


Three samples of wall texture


Close up of the left sample


Close up of the middle sample (combo of the other two - more labor intensive)


Close up of the right sample (orange peel texture) September 12 Decided on the orange peel texture. The pretty one cost an extra $1000 so we decided to skip on that option (and spend it on furniture instead).
