It's impossible to see the texture in this picture but at least you can see that the sheet rock is FINISHED in the office and ready to be painted and window sills installed.
Roger Gertz, my friend/business partner, and I were talking the other day about Brigid's Wood. I first met Roger 35 years ago when I signed on with him as a laborer and "Heat-a-lator Removal Specialist" when he was building his magnificent log cabin in Waynesville, North Carolina (for you construction newbies: a "Heat-a-lator Removal Specialist" has the delicate touch to surgically remove a metal fireplace firebox from a masonry chimney using only a 10# sledge hammer and BEEF... IQ required: not more than room temperature). I don't remember what Roger paid me but during "operation heat-a-lator removal" but whatever he paid me wasn't enough... that was the hardest physical work that I have ever done (but he was able to use both recycled Heat-a-lators in his log cabin's two fireplaces)!Over the years Roger has completed dozens of remodel projects and he suggested that I put a bead board wains coating with a chair rail in the master bathroom. I thought it was a good idea so I am in the process of installing it while Alexis tries to decide on colors. It's very difficult to look at a paint chip at Home Depot and know what it's going to look like on the wall. She's having second thoughts about both the colors she's selected so far. Fortunately what she has used to date is tinted primer... so no problem... it will be covered up with the final color choice.
Here you can see the bead board sans chair rail and one of the rejected paint colors.
I've done a number of unconventional things with this house and I'm about to do another. I'm going to use copper-colored metal roofing as our shower surround... it'll be different for sure. Hopefully I'll have some of it up tomorrow and we'll include pictures.
