Out of Plumb

Well I was somewhat distracted with family here and all but still managed to put in some time. I was able to tape all of the seams and start on the texture. I would have gone farther but I ran out of mud. That's about 7 gallons of mud on the dining room and the hall alone. Allot of mud was used trying to get all of the old drywall to fade into the new seamlessly. I am quite pleased with how it is turning out. Another part of my problem is when I started to texture I didn’t thin it out enough. Its one of those things where you are trying to do 2 jobs at once. Thin enough to texture is too thin to tape seams very well. I sort of short for a medium but it was really to thick for texturing. I will be able to thin the mud I buy tomorrow much farther and it will texture faster and easier. The switches are in and they worked great. You can see the wires dangling from the ceiling but the other two have bulbs attached. Old replacement sockets for table lamps work great for this, just screw in a bulb and attach it to the bare wires. Great temporary light. I will try to remember to put in some shots of the dining room next time because I know you are all sick of seeing the hall. Thought I would toss in another newspaper article just because I find the concept of reading an 70 year old newspaper online fascinating.
