That'll teach you to bowl in flip-flops....

At least he didn't drop the soap.

At least he didn't drop the soap.

They only do that when they're role playing. But, hey, you gotta spice it up sometimes.

Spent the last 6 days without AC in the mid-upper 90's! Nice to be back in the civilized world
Just in time for the temperature to drop back into the 80's finally...

What does that mean? 90s aren't that hot.

Ohm is just another chant I heard

The temperature here usually hits the 90's for about 3-4 days in the summer, if we're "lucky". Usually it's mid-upper 80's at most. It's been in the upper 90's-low 100's for the past three weeks and I'm tired of it! I lived down in Augusta, GA for nine months for a co-op job while I'm still in school and hated it. I don't like the heat, I'm made to be in the cold apparently.
I need to go back up north with the real snowthrowers, not them chincy driveway ones everyone seems to need nowadays.

Gotta toughen up. Here in Fort Worth, TX we regularly get the wonderful warm 100+ weather. It's perfect for sneaking into certain Members pools.

Putting drywall up on the ceiling is not for 2 people with no clue how.

I feel like a truck ran me down ...

Not only can I imagine but I might have seen this scenario play out a time or two and I have felt your pain ... but at least I got to work through inexperience with youth. I can only hope you didn't damage anything permanently by trying to save a buck you beepetty bleep bleep. No ... really ... I hope you're okay.

I'm afraid to ask if he used 2-1/2" or 3" screws...

If you leave all the screws out a tad that's the best guide you can have for your taping tools.

Pro tips ... come and get 'em.

All this talk of short screws...

Dang, I just forgot why I started posting.

 

[Adam]

Just remembered. My order from Tommy Hilfiger is still "pending." What? Just ship it already.

To paraphrase: "2-1/2", 3" - whatever it takes..."

That Tommy - he's such a teaze.

 

[Adam]

That Tommy - he's such a teaze.

Indeed. But, my order shipped about two hours after I posted that! I just need more patience with him, I guess.

Thanks. We're ok. Just very sore. And not the good kind of sore.

Screws? I should have used screws? Do you mean to say that the Elmers glue won't hold?

NTTAWWT...

...also, I would have guessed Elmer was at least 4'8" tall.

Depends on how long you're willing to hold the drywall against the ceiling...

Worked on finishing my basement over the weekend. I should have paid someone to do it instead. Putting drywall up on the ceiling is not for 2 people with no clue how. Especially when one is 51 yrs old, and the other is 4' 7" tall. (Not to mention a 3 year old pulling on my leg while I was on the ladder) Somehow we managed, but I feel like a truck ran me down, backed up to make sure he got me, then gunned it to get good running start. Aleve isn't cutting it. I need something stronger. 4:20 anyone?

I admire you for trying this yourself, but damn, some things are better left to professionals. Pics?

I have had estimates on dry walling my basement range anywhere from $2500 - $11,000 to one guy who was so drunk, I convinced him to let me drive him home and told him he could pick his car up later. I can repair drywall, but hanging it, especially a ceiling, not so much. Much respect to Gmichael
