Ready for 'Knockdown' and Garage Doors





The drywallers hung the plastic and painted the ceilings yesterday in preparation for the "knockdown" ceilings. They splatter on some mud and then knock it down with a knife. We wanted to go with flat ceilings but the head of the crew convinced me that we wouldn't be happy b/c of the imperfections we'd see.

It actually looks pretty good with just the primer on it but I could see some "wavy-ness" which could have been caused by the paint. The study will have a flat ceiling but the rest of the rooms will have knock-down. Decisions like this are a pain because you have to live with them for a long time. Having said that, I am very happy with the work they have done thus far.

I included this picture of the garage because our doors are supposed to arrive today (crosses fingers).

Why didn't you want the knock down?

Knock down is for suckers, that's why.
