Dry-Wall Back in the Kitchen

Brennan has put the dry-wall back up in the kitchen. He did a great job and it was all by himself. I helped a little by holding up the dry-wall for the ceiling while he pounded in the nails. To me, dry-wall seems very tedious. You have to make sure your measurements are exact and the pieces are cut just right. If you don't, the dry-wall will not fit, and pounding it in with your fists will not work, trust me, I tried and it hurt. Dry-wall is very heavy as well.


You want to make sure you mark where the beams are when doing dry-wall. The dry-wall should be secure, because, duh, its your wall. Also, you screws instead of nails, that way the dry-wall cannot wiggle out of its spot.


 Now we have to put up dry-wall tape on the seams, between the dry-wall pieces, then mud them. Its important to mud the wall close to perfect, to make the wall look seamless. After that, you texture the walls, if you wish, then on to the paint!
