Ripped a wall out in my house

[water]

If you were sneaky you would have had undocumented workers do it for you and then just as they were finishing drop a call to ICE.

Its not much floor space, but it definitely makes the place look bigger.
And dormer window shining in is a plus too.
How do you plan to work the floor?

my dad taught me how to fart, burp, and stay out too late.



though very valuable.. ok, no.. not valuable at all.

definitely the window is a massive bonus. not sure what i'd use the wall for though.

Work the floor? I'd need a bevy of ladies in here first.

There's composite wood look a like stuff in here now I put in a few years ago, I'll just use more if it for the new part. It's worked out really well.

Yeah, it isn't a lot of space but it makes a perfect spot for my modular desk deal, and makes a bunch more usable space in the room over all.

she rips stuff up, assuming it can be repaired, and if it can't be, oh well.

She tore me up pretty good.

this isn't another flaming glory thread?

I would have no idea how to:

1) Determine if that was a load bearing wall
2) Figure out what can be brought down and what cant without hurting something
3) Other stuff

you learn that stuff by doing. ie: go help out a buddy do some drywall and you pick it up. build a deck, do some flooring, tiling, etc... it's just shit you pick up over time by doing it.

I'm actually pretty good at hanging drywall, making it look pretty before you paint and then painting it. I did it for a summer job in high school and off and on since then. It's kind of a side job of mine right now. Dude hired a laborer and painter for meself since I have have plans to vacation at least once a month for the next few months.

"The Sleepwalking Drywall Hanger" , it could be a show on the DIY Channel!

I'm absolutely terrible at it. I can't get the whole taping and mudding down.

So fuck it, I'll pay someone else to do it and make it look good.

maybe you're forgetting to sand?

Nope, I know all about the steps to finish drywall. I just suck at it. Especially inside corners.

if you're that bad, do one side of the corner one day, let it dry, do the other side the next day.

Or just pay someone to do it.

If you really really suck at drywall: find a cheapo orbital sander and use a lot of compound. It works, just use a facemask and like... be prepared for a lot of dust.

It's a practice thing, if you tore out all the drywall in your house and worked on it 12 hours a day; you too could forgo sanding entirely.

@above: fly is such a woman.

edit: actually that's an insult to women. I mean my mom knows how to do this stuff.
