My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is it drywall right to the floor using L trim for reveal?

    No, it is not drywall down to the floor. We used drywall down to a fry reglet reveal approximately 4 inches up from the floor. The base itself is painted finger-jointed pine. - Mark

      Yes, a fry reglet is a metal reveal. - Mark

      May I ask what purpose does the fry reglet serve? Just look or is there a function of it?

      The fry reglet allows the base and drywall to be in the same plane without the junction cracking, which tends to happen when you butt different materials together. - Mark.
