Prime-Time!

so, once the drywall is up, its time to spackle and prime.  get the old trowel out and spread that mud around dem grooves to make it all real smooooove.

i did happen to learn that theres a mixture of art, science, and patience when it comes to this stage of things.  you need to apply the mud, then let it dry a little....then put some more on...wait a little longer....etc. etc. etc.

so it takes a few days to get it right.  and they did.  so it all looks GREAT.

check it out here.  the ceilings won't  change much in color, but the walls will....they just got through with that today, so I'll post pics of that real soon [once I return to DC...currently in Cali-forn-ia]

next up: painting.  then wood flooring.  and THEN: we can actually start planning the move-in date
