Illinois in the Living Room

Same story wallpaper, wallpaper, wallpaper covered in paint. One side of the living room has its walls beautiful and bare, although the ceiling was a little saggy, and the plaster buttons didn't really do the job so down it came. You see the ceiling is a hybrid of old plaster and umm we aren't really sure, but in our novice opinions it looks like cement, and boy is it stuck up there. But we needed to fill the hole with a piece of drywall ordinarily you would cut so it looks like a big square or rectangle, but this one ended up looking like Illinois.


So Thread climbed up and traced the shape of the hole onto a piece of paper, so we could transfer it to the drywall. Butter cautioned her to remember to flip the drawing since the white part of the drywall should be showing........Thread said yeah yeah I got it!



Well Butter went to install this piece by herself when no else was around to help, and being that we only have one giant ladder it would have been tough to have both people up that high, since the ceilings are twelve and a half feet high.So Butter was trying to fit the drywall into place and couldn't figure it until...she realized that Thread never flipped the drawing! So Butter found a cardboard tube, cut to to the right length and used that to hold the drywall in place while she screwed it into the wall.




We are off to get the Trim paint this morning .....so check back for peek into the living room!
