Hi Carol, and Carey,
first - Carol, thanks for the reply. Well, sounds like you have a great friend...lucky you! I went through high school in Ashland Oregon! Where in Oregon is he from? Who knows maybe this winter we would be ready to hire and perhaps there could be something he would enjoy doing on our house. Never know....???
second - Carey, Ah so the Hardie panel acts differently from drywall, interesting. Might be a learning curve there if I decide to take this on. I think we will go with the primed Hardie panel, is it easier or harder to finish than unprimed, in your opinion? I probably will use a good quality flat paint (a little more forgiving), except in the bathrooms of course then perhaps eggshell. I read somewhere, perhaps in a design magazine, that this one guy who was really particular, would only do drywall finishing at night, where he had lights on the wall coming from every direction. I wonder if his price reflected his perfection tendancies.
