The sheetrock is basically wrapped up. Cheryl has been priming as I was working in the front yard. This weekend we had a 4 day weekend and went whole hog on priming. Unfortunately, the first coat is very time consuming. There is a lot of dust left from the sheetrock that needs to be removed before priming. There are also a number of places that need touch-up on the sheetrock. Additionally, the sheetrock contractor sanded the raw paper from the sheetrock so we need a second sanding after the first coat of primer to remove all the fuzz from sanding the paper. All in all we got a first coat of primer of 3 large rooms, a hallway, and a closet under the stairs. We got the goofs patched, sanded the first coat, and applied the second coat in one of the bedrooms downstairs. It's a lot of work, but the second coat went a lot faster. We're looking forward to the next coat - color!
