The drywall has begun

Fielding local labor who turn out to be worthwhile construction workers has proved to be challenging but achievable. It amazes me at how many people really just don't want to work hard. They just want to get paid to do nothing. But there are a few out there who will put in a good days work, get paid and do it again. Not sure where they're going, but I'm happy to have a few of them along the way.

That being said, the drywall work is being subbed to individuals, which may in the end prove to be a mistake. So far it hasn't, though we're only through the first week. The uneasy feeling of having a big, expensive finish job turn out poorly is slowly fading away. It help to have experienced it first hand on the first house, because unfinished drywall in a renovation job is at least one thing: UGLY. See for yourself : )
