Drywall

After our last blower door test, the builder found and fixed a significant leak hidden behind one of the beams. Hopefully, that was the last one, as the airtight membrane is now inaccessible behind the drywall (gypsum board, sheetrock) in the ceiling.

Before mounting the drywall on the straw panels, the wood beams are furred out a bit so that any straw sticking out doesn’t cause the boards to warp. We’re also using 5/8" drywall everywhere to keep it as straight as possible (also improves sound proofing).

Here’s the great room with walls in progress.

And this is where the kitchen cabinets are going to go.

The garage is all done.
