The Utility Room Gets a Facelift

Zita decided that we needed to go ahead and get a washer and dryer at the Denton house. At first, we thought it might be alright to just put them in the utility room for now until we did the remodel work on the existing house.

On closer inspection, I decided I really needed to go ahead and remodel the utility room before we put anything in it. I could tell that the walls had gotten wet at some point and there had just been cheap paneling nailed over the old sheet rock.

So, I set to work.

Below are pictures of the process, from tearing out the old sheet rock and insulation to re-insulating, installing the green board sheet rock (designed for damp areas like bathrooms and utility rooms), tape and plastering the new sheet rock seems, sanding the seems, and then painting it all, and a picture of the completed utility room.
