Removing the lower 2 ft of drywall and insulation to avoid mold issues.
The previous owner did this basement finishing himself and the drywall mudding was terrible. There were bulges over studs. Also the electric boxes were all floppy.
So with the drywall removed, I tried to stabilize the electric boxes. A switch to a light that wasn't working--I found a wire had broken off, and fixed that.
We had to pay extra for them to smooth out the drywall above the 2 foot level.
Painting the areas mudded over paint produced a little pocking. The just sanded and repainted over that.
So we changed the color from a blue to a light yellow (off white) which makes the room brighter, appear larger, and hides imperfections in the drywall better maybe.
Carpet will be light blue.
Electric boxes that don't come out level with the drywall--you can buy these plastic spacer things to bring the outlets out. to help the covers fit and look better.
