Drywall hung, taping/mudding in progress!

Over the weekend, our neighbor Brian the drywaller came over and started mudding the bathroom.

On Saturday, Brian did the big gap filling and first pass on all the seams. I helped snug up some screw heads and hang the last few bits of drywall around the glass blocks, while he filled the larger gaps and seams to get ready for taping.

Sunday, he came again in the morning, put tape over the flat seams and finished about a third of them.

We're closing on this job, and it wasn't nearly as hard as I had anticipated the day I lifted that first panel to the ceiling. I still wouldn't want to do it for a living!

Many thanks to our neighbor Brian! You're a lifesaver! There's no way we could have gotten the drywall done before Christmas without your help!

Mud detail next to sink.  It's a bit gloopy here - nothing a bit of sanding won't fix.
