Infrastructure is done! Time to close it up an make this look like a house again. $3500 quote was disappointing when I first heard it. I knew it would be about $2K to do the entire downstairs celings. What I really forgot to budget for was the kitchens and bathrooms. All walls needed removal just because of all the plumibing and electrical that needed moved. Further, there is the master closet, the pantry, new powder room, and tons of patch work. It adds up now, I just forgot a some stuff on my original budget. I'm probably at about $1.80 per square foot which is a solid price.
After the extension there was even more drywall work that probably would have pushed the total bid to around 5K. Patrick and the guys spent around 2.5 days total to hang drywall the entire house. That way they could work on the extensive amount of mill work. I subsequently got a bid of $2600 to do all of the finish work.... which is about where I expected. There must have been about 8 guys doing the first coat of mud Saturday AM. They were like aunts ... everywhere!
