Wallboard

Dad was gone for the day for a show for his ceramics class.

Mom and I picked up where we left off on Friday.  We got the rest of the wall board up in the guest room.  We then got the joints taped and applied compound.

In the afternoon, Mom fixed a hole in the wall.  When she did, she could look under my bathtub.


It seems kind of funny that there isn't wall board on the bathroom side of the wall at tub level.

I put corner tape on the window sills of the master bedroom windows.  The 'tape' is paper with sheet metal strips in the center.  You cut it to length and then fold the angle.


Then you put up a thin layer of joint compound on the sides getting the tape.  You put it in place ad scrape away the extra compound.


After it dries, you put a second layer of compound over the top (that will be for Sunday).  They make really nice clean, straight corners.
