This Weekends project
« on: April 26, 2009, 02:48:55 PM »
Started this project yesterday at 12:30.. wrapped up today at about 2:30.. Had to do it this weekend in order to not fall behind on some big projects lined up this week.. Doesn't help I have a hockey tournament Tuesday so I had to book around it. this was another insurance restoration job.. ceiling and most walls were new drywall as well as some original plaster. Ceiling used to be gold and walls a deep forest green. A nice change IMO. The Mantle was the same oak as the rest but they wanted it painted.

Nice work wje.... looks like the drywallers ( or plasterers ) gave you some clean corners to work with, unfortunately that seems to be an exception these days.. at least in these parts...  :-\

I have been fortunate enough lately to be following some pretty good drywallers. It sure makes a world of difference when cutting in a consistantly straight corner. For a while I was working behind a company who tackles it all (demo, framing, drywall, and trim) and boy do I have to work hard to make them look good.

The guy doing this work is in his fifties, so he is one of the good ones who seem to be disappearing. The work in your area pretty shotty most the time too?

Like you said, depends on the crew but for the most part the construction Trades are trending toward lowering the interpretation of the term " Standard Practice " .....  ;)

Looks good! What materials did you use on the fireplace? Very crisp lines.
