Bathroom: Finish Drywall and Paint

While I’ve been doing tile, Jennifer has been sanding drywall, painting, fixing drywall bits that I damage, sanding again, painting again, fixing paint that I pulled off with tape or damaged with grout, sanding and painting again.

Drywall is done!

Looking awesome

Smooth as a baby's bottom.

We’re going with white, because it looks quite nice with the green tile:

Painting all finished.

We chose Zinsser Perma-White Mould and Mildew Proof Interior Paint as an added precaution. This bathroom had a mildew problem before we put the fan in. We haven’t had any issues since then, but for roughly the same price it’s worth it. It’s semi-gloss to make it easy to clean.

I bought trim for the door, caulk for the tub, sealer for the grout and masking tape to help with caulking at Home Depot today.


Cost for this Post:

– $42.53 – Zinsser Perm-White Mould and Mildew Proof Interior Paint (4L)
– $10.39 – 2 large rolls of low-stick masking tape
– $21.76 – Door trim
– $16.77 – 3 tubes of Mono Ultra Silicone Caulk
– $34.71 – Grout Sealer (1 pint)
$126.16 – Total with taxes

    I think Jen might be a saint (though I’m aware those are no longer on your agenda) – painting dry wall again, and again, and again? yikes.

    Well done though!
