Where’s Waldo?
Well you can see today’s project, straighten and finish rocking the dining room walls. In the picture the before wall is so many colors because NONE OF THE BOARDS IS LONGER THAN 36 INCHES! Spared no expense on this place. You can also see one of the blocked in door openings. That makes three in that wall alone. One we discovered during demolition and plan to use, one we covered back over and one we are filling in. A regular plethora of doors, I feel blessed. I added a few studs of my own in part to strengthen but mostly because I didn’t want drywall to span those huge gaps. They were just scrap boards that I used to tie all of the sheeting togeather. The wall is non structural, just somthing to attach the rock to. Filler studs brought everything down within 16 inches. On the other side of the wall is the s
tair well. Gives a good look at how my house was constructed. The wall orignally had those same boards on both sides, along with several layers of old panneling. Even figuring 1/2 inch of new sheetrock we still made the room one inch wider. Got more than I thought done, even got a first coat of mud on. The wife was happy. I was even careful not to make too much of a mess as we haven’t really cleaned out the room, just move the crap from corner to corner. I tossed in a picture of the puppy because, well how could I not?
