  • Are we ready for the DRYWALL?
    Jun 19 2024

    Are you ready to see your new home construction or major remodel project transition from a skeleton of beams and framing to the fully fleshed-out home of your dreams?

    On episode 43 of "From Disaster to Dream Home," I team up with the Master of Construction, Don McMaster from McMaster and Hill Construction to have a final look at what must be completed prior to sealing the walls with the drywall.

    Ever wondered how long it will take to get beyond the framing and see the house take shape? Don breaks down the timeline for homes big and small. We'll navigate the maze of plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work, and why the order of operations is crucial for a smooth build.

    We will delve into the transformative power of insulation, not only for temperature control, but also for soundproofing your space. Plus, Don shares pro tips on documenting your home's hidden infrastructure, before they disappear behind drywall. And speaking about drywall, what’s the best surface texture for your build? What are the options and how do we choose?
