Monday

Monday was a very busy day I spent it doing allot of sanding of the plaster Katie and I did Saturday night. She did a great job filling in the screws and the sanding went well. I had to figure out what I was going to do with the strip on the ceiling and wall from the demo of the wall. The thickness was so different I chose to put up some diamond lath and plaster the opening to get it to look even. Some places had a space of 1 in to as small as a 1/2 inch. The first coat went well and I think it will look good when it is done. I also took the time prime the bed room and the foyer and then decided it was quiting time. Pictures to be posted when I get home.

Here is a picture of the wall space after it has been plastered. It will take at least two coats if not three to get the space to blend in. It was a pain in the behind for sure. Used 1/2 in sheet rock strips and diamond lath and plastered the space which ranged from 1/2 in to none at the bottom.

Picture of the ceiling joint. It looks really bad but I had to put it on kind of thick in places. I am going to sand it and then put a second and third coat on that will fan out about a foot on either side to blend in nicely. Thats the plan Hope it works.

Here is a picture of the kitchen wall all plastered up. Got corner bead in and should be done with a second coat.
