Taping is well underway

With hot summer temperatures into the 30's (celcius) or high 80's (Fahrenheit) it is an excellent time to vent the moisture out of the drywall compound and get the tapes to dry quickly.  Our taper (Anthony) is doing a very efficient job so far, he will be taping both houses which provides him plenty of work and opportunity to move from side to side as the many stages of taping are complete.  Once we get through sanding, priming and touchups, we can begin the real finishing aspects of the job.  At this point we are attempting to schedule the remaining jobs through to completion, ordering additional materials and continuing with the exterior and garage construction.

Initial tapes are installed on the walls and ceiling on day 1 of taping

the inside and outside corners are applied using metal edged drywall bead.  This takes longer to dry.  The next step is to skim the walls to blend the joints together
