Spec Plan L: Walls and Ceilings

what need to do —

Identify wall covering and room trim:

— paint in living room
— wall paper in foyer
— columns separating dining from living room, etc.

• Drywall uses sheets that are nailed to the wall studs and then taped and joint compound to leave a smooth finish for surfacing.
  
• Ceilings also use drywall sheets and are finished in the same manner.
  
• The drywall is the most visible interior part of your home. Make sure you pick a good drywaller.

Walls and ceilings may be painted, papered, stuccoed, tiled, or layered with other exotic materials.

• Interior trim is the most precise work of your project. Trim includes moldings, chair rails, stairway, window sills, etc.
  
• Good trim can make an interior home stand out. Make sure you inspect the trim work carefully as it goes up.
