A on going project that never :cam:

[General Ray]

seems it will end at this old house

Been doing a little remolding for the past three years and I may finally be making some head way here

My problem is I do it all day at work and when I come home I don't have much left let alone want to do what I just did for 10 to 12 hours


Here are some quick shots, this is a heating run that I ran to one of the bedrooms upstairs which has never had one before, notice I had to run the run in a corner and hope for the best where it came out upstairs then build a wall to cover it. On these older homes the down stair walls don't line up with the up stair walls.

Here's another one that was started many years ago in the other bedroom but they gave up before they finished it, so they just covered it with wall paper, I ran the rest into the bedroom.

Here are some light switches that I put in and phone jack and power out let.

And when I turn on my new light switch it turns on my new can lights on my ceiling

Good thing I am a drywaller by trade because some of the out let boxes that I installed are not plum do to the fact that I am dealing with plaster walls but thats ok, i've seen enough electricians hack their way through a house and look to me to clean up their mess, hahahaha sorry Cierlast

dontcha just love it when someone wants the mudding done after they have hung the rock? It takes me half a day sometimes to fix all the screwups so I can start mudding and then I still find nails or screws I missed. I only do it part time. Do you use a shoe for taping? I do it the slow way unless its a real big job and then I suggest they get a pro like you.

Who knows, even a little detecting???

Dave, it's the only way to go for me, they are fast and take a little time to learn because once you fill the tube with mud it is very heavy. Heres a link that will show you many of the tools I use on the job and what they cost.

guess if I was in the business though, I'd need tools like that. I use an inside corner Marshalltown trowel and an 8" knife. I use a 16" belly trowel for finishing. Takes a while, but keeps me outa trouble! Thanks for the link.
