With the garage inspections complete and the slab poured we were able to move on to the advanced stages of the garage interior work. During the hot summer weather we attempted to moisten the slab for a few days in order to slow the curing process and hopefully reduce shrinkage cracking. The primary defence we have against shrinkage cracking is also to saw cut the slab, and this was also done.
We insulated the garage and brought back the framers to hang the drywall. With drywall up we can now tape the joints and eventually sand the compound into a good enough surface for paint. All of this is done in advance of the garage door install, so that the ceiling is free from obstructions and we get a really clean finish.
