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.

Door trim day 1

Cleiton Batista from Batista Contractor is here today to work on the door frames. One might ask why is the door frame being installed before you even have drywall? We are doing a no trim finish.

And that’s why door frame has to be installed before drywall is hung.
