Laid in the sub floor using 3/4″ plywood. I installed some cross bracing to help eliminate any squeaks. Put half inch drywall on the walls, mudded, primed, and painted. I skipped the texture process due to cost. The spray cans are great, but just not cost effective. Renting a texture spray gun would cost at least $80.
I picked a 12-13% gray for the walls from Miller Paint. I’m generally very disappointed with Miller Paint. In the last two years I’ve used at least ten gallons of Miller brand paint. Several gallons at The Cabin and at least six in the new house. I’ve had a lot of chipping, general durability problems, and poor coverage. I believe I’ve used all the correct techniques including using fresh paint, mixing, and priming.
For the gray color, I went into a local Miller paint store with a photo color calibration card. They could not take CYMK, LAB, or Pantone values. They matched the color by eye from a catalog.
