The primer step matters

New Bonnie Doon board is porous and inconsistent until correctly primed; miss the step and the topcoat looks blotchy. Because we board and finish the basement drywall in Bonnie Doon ourselves, we know exactly when it is dry and ready to prime.

No gap between trades

We move from finishing the drywall straight into priming and painting, without waiting on a separate painter's schedule.
