Dry wall day...one of the most fun days in custom home building...or any home building for that matter. It is the day that your new house transforms from a structure/blueprint to the house that you had hoped it would be. Now rooms start coming together. What your house is really going to look like starts taking shape. Heck, you can even start getting accurate measurements for new furniture so you can go spend more money if you are able to find some left over from the rest of this project (easier said than done)! It is amazing how quickly this goes up. However, be patient because getting it sealed and smoothed out to the point where it is ready to paint takes some time. It takes about a week if I recall. Here are some pictures from drywall day!

Hopefully throughout the process you are thinking about which paint colors to do. Talk to your builder and figure out how many paint colors he had in mind. This may cost more per color if they contract out for painting. Fortunately, our builder often does this with his crew and was pretty flexible with the number of paint colors within reason. Also, make sure that you talk with your builder and ask him when it is alright to go put a few splotches of paint up on the drywall so you can really see what it is going to look like. Try to arrange to see it in different light as you'd be surprised how different it looks. We were told to try to keep the sample spots in locations that would be covered up such as where the kitchen cabinets are going to go.
On a not so fun note, we picked a certain color which you can see below on the back right wall. We were told at the paint store that there were no undertones (we were looking for a neutral, light gray for our base color throughout the house) and RJ was great about calling after one wall was done informing me that he didn't think this is what we were going for...and boy was he right! $200 of paint down the drain unfortunately...
