We got drywall this past week. And every single person we have talked to who has either renovated a home or built a home, they have told us that getting drywall is the most magical thing on this planet, and I kinda agree. We just spent the last year and a half building this worse. We wired this house. We insulated this house. We built the roof and our drywallers came in and covered it all up within two days. Two days. Basically, everything we did is just is just gone. Like, I know it's not gone gone, but it's pretty. The home is really pretty. It's also super bright. It just really feels like a different home. And hopefully, in two weeks, the drywall should be completely done.
