Long story short: Before I bought the house… - Complete tear down of first floor - All new plumbing installed (Pex piping for supply and PVC tub/sink) BUT didn’t replace the completely rusted out cast iron joint where the closet flange and waste line from the sink/shower join with the main waste line. - Rained in my dining room this morning. I’ll have the demo done. I don’t know how to nor do I want to attempt (and do a shit job) of hanging and finishing. ---

ceilings suck but the best thing to do is go to ABC rental and rent the drywall lifter for $40. Screw it up there and get to mudding ---

yea, drywall lifters make life easy. if you only have a couple sheets you can make a T out of some 2x4s a tad shorter than the ceiling, brace it against the wall… throw the drywall up there, then climb a ladder (already next to you of course), and screw it up. I use the T method if I only have a few sheets to hang… otherwise I get someone else to help, haha 😛 I’ve only done 4x8 1/2" greenboard and reg with the T. never tried anything larger. Or just hire someone else! =) I’m sure someone on craigslist would do it for some food or such. ---

Dude grab matt and brain make some 2x4 T’s and screw the drywall up. Then all you need to do it mud, which blows lol. Drop me a line if you need a guy my dad will know someone. ---

i hate using t’s…just IMO mudding on the ceiling can suck but the worst is dusting, or I guess its called sanding. Damn dust! ---

Where is the house? I’ve been hanging and finishing drywall for 10+ years and could use some cash if its close by. Shoot me a pm. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk ---
