...and looks like that I'll be in that condition for a while...
The last step in drywall process was more like making and playing
puzzle. The view above the
head – shower ceiling. I didn’t want to go too low with even part of ceiling,
so the big pipe would be exposed. It’s not show room, the main point is –
comfortable height. Also needed to frame separately water valve , just in case we’d need to open the
ceiling part for that later.
So playing some puzzle and cutting some puzzle pieces. Good
thing that with this officially drywalling is DONE!!!
Also found some neat tools and materials for better finish. Very
cool drill bit for drywall screwing. Makes a neat small dimple into the wall
not allowing to go through, but just enough to keep perfect pit for compound
material. As well, I looove Flexible Metal Tape and all these Paper-Faced Metal
Corner Beads, makes work so much easier and nicer.
I pet myself on the shoulder that I decided to go with DUST
CONTROL Drywall Compound. Yesterday after first mudding layer I decided to sand
a bit before the second layer. You can visually see how all dust go down and
practically nothing in the air. No clouds of dust that I saw on YouTube for my
education as drywaller :) Now looking at the pictures I can see the light at the end
of the tunnel. Maybe there is a hope that I'll make to the end :)
Meanwhile .... because my kiln is in exile (can't find place
where Archie wouldn't find it and try to sniff or taste hot kiln) green ware of
metal clay pieces, that were sitting on the bench for some time, getting some shape. Still in
progress, but I like to make sometimes macro photos before finishing to see if
I missed some details or how it looks via camera eye.
Still can't decide what to use for the center, I have a few cabochons
and piece of raw amber. Will see how much the hole shrinks and how the colors
will play at the end.
My threaded construction piece with some mokume gane inlays,
but that will be visual just after firing.
