Drywalling mechanical room.

This is the mechanical room. Instead of leaving the mechanical room just bare and unfinished, I want to properly drywall the mechanical room and paint it. But since this is a room that’s not really being used or visible all the time, I’ve decided to just do it myself. So I hung all the drywall using 5/8″ Type-X drywall and trimmed around all the openings. This way, once mudded and painted, it will have the same slick trim-less finish, just a slightly lower grade.

For the water distribution manifold, I have left the plywood bare as is, and just drywall the lower portion.

Used metal trims all around the electrical panel opening so I can have that finished edge.
