Okay, here's the difference
between doing this professionally, and doing a "home job."
If I were doing this professionally I would never piece together drywall
in this fashion. I'd most likely have hung all of the walls as solid
individual pieces. This is going to take me a lot of time filling,
taping, and sanding all those joints whereas a solid piece would take a
fraction of the time... and a lot less dust in my nose.
But, I got skills...
And since I also have time, no problem. By the time I'm done with
this addition to the original closet, which, incidentally, was built like
crap, Helen Keller wouldn't be able to detect a seam.
The main reason I'm posting this particular image is to show how to create
really nice edges. I prefer vinyl corner beading, but 84 Lumber only
had the metal kind, and beggars can't be choosers. This is
especially true when said beggar can't afford the fuel to go into nearby
Frederick, and 84 is less than 1/5th of a mile from the house. Oh,
well.
Tomorrow will be an extra special day because the power company is turning
off the electricity from 9:00am-3:00pm while they replace a rotted light
pole up the street. The frigid temperatures in the house will slow
down the drying time for my joint compound application, and I should have
no problems reworking any potential mistakes as long as I don't die of
exposure.
Before I forget, yes; that's the old door to the Guest Room. We had
to open it back up. I'll explain later. |
