Should I fix the drywall that will be covered by floorboards anyway?

Question

I have been remodeling my living room. The walls were a mess. After removing the wallpaper and fixing any holes, I'm just about ready for painting. However, I have left some "bad" spaces in the wallboard/drywall that I feel are unnecessary to fix since they will be covered with floorboards. My husband disagrees.

Should I fix the small holes in the drywall at the very bottom, even if they will get covered with floorboards?

Answer 1

You could cover them with drywall mud, but leave it unsanded and unfinished.

Answer 2

I go off of the tack, "Any job worth doing is worth doing right."

I would fix them, but, I am pretty anal about stuff like that.

Answer 3

No, it's not necessary to repair the holes if the cove base covers them unless your putting nylon (plastic) cove base.
