A photo walkthrough

One basement, three stages of drywall work.

These existing GEM photos show the same basement progressing from framing and insulation to boarding and finishing. Follow the work before primer and paint, and use it to describe the stage your own space is at.

Basement walls framed and insulated before boarding

1. Framed and insulated

The exposed framing and insulation show the room before drywall closes in the walls. This is the stage to discuss the layout and any remaining preparation before boarding.

2. Boarded

Drywall covers the walls and ceiling, with the joints still visible. Boarding creates the surface that will be taped and coated; it is not the finished wall yet.

3. Taped and sanded

The joints and fasteners have been coated, and the surfaces prepared for the painting stage. The photos show the drywall progression, rather than a completed painted interior.
