It's starting to feel like a house, but really starts to take shape when these guys start their magic. The entire place was boarded in one day, and the next day the mudder/tapers arrived. They were very diligent about picking up any dropped screws, as they were working on what would be the finished floor, but it is still a messy job. Asked whether drywall or plaster is preferred, we both agreed plaster, although way heavier, it's not nearly as dusty. The only surprise was that we are responsible for getting rid of their waste. Most "job-sites" have dumpsters on site. We don't. We have been diligent about trying to reuse and reduce waste. This was what was left after they departed. Our local dump does not recycle drywall, so it is considered construction waste and we are charged by the yard.
