I'm with you on the separate sleeping rooms. Another person's snoring interfering with your sleep is no joke.
Be careful with that wicked finish! That thief should be skinned alive by his 'drywall'. Stinkin' frauds make my blood boil.
I'm wondering, could you sand down the worst of the sharpness or maybe do a skim coat of something - just to make them a little less dangerous?
Yes, my husband snores horribly and I am a light sleeper so separate rooms is a must. The room is pretty big and the texture is horrible all over. He did the texture in another room and did a good job getting it flat so it has a nicer look and feel to it. This room he did when he "fell off the wagon" with addictions he had. He was reliable til that point. Its a shame because we had plenty of work and he could have made good money if he hadn't turned to stealing to feed his addiciton.
Dang, that is a shame. I hope you can find someone else, without the 'baggage', to pick up where the other dude left off.
