For real. Florida guys chug, slam the bottle on the ground of your home, and then start drilling while doing lines off the drill they "borrowed" from you.
Then they sue you for cutting themselves on broken beer bottles while your guy is marking every hole Granted I hear J marks every hole as well but that's a different story.

So he got the first round of tape and mudding done, it's really starting to come together well.
For the window edges, he used plastic ends instead of metal to prevent the rusting that I had in the future, we'll also be resealing the window

So the drywall and mudding is all done, primed and then painted the ceiling and the walls, ended up needing more paint for the second coat, here's a couple from the first coat
He painted the second coat and then it was tile time!
Just noticed the 2 different colors in the picture, hope that's just because the paint was wet...

It's just the lighting, keeps showing up on my camera that way but looks fine in person, we'll see how it looks once we put the light fixture up but it all looks uniform now that it's dry

Took another pic of the lighting to check with my phone, to the naked eye it's the same color, with the lighting it looks different but definitely appears to just be lighting.
And yesterday he grouted the tile, came out great!

It apparently was changed in a bunch of states a few years back. It is code now here in NC as well.
The explanation for the change I was told is that if a cable comes slightly unplugged but not enough to no longer be active if the ground pin is on the top it blocks a metal object from connecting the live and neutral wires together.

Yeah, my girl already was bitching about his caulking job in the main bathroom. She made me caulk the division between the shower and tile and it came out really nice. We're planning to redo the caulk on both sinks. The window I will probably just paint and be done with it
