Work continued on day 5, with the focus on prepping the surface for drywall.
.
.
We have one of those stupid popcorn ceilings and I’m not lying when I say it makes a mess.
.
.
But by the end of the day it was sufficiently scraped… and drywall covered the giant hole.
.
.
.
By removing all those stupid little pieces of useless plywood the contractor found up there, he was able to give the beam a much lower and less defined profile than it had before .
.
.
It’s still there, but no where near as deep, which is nice.
Next step will be mudding. (Which spellcheck just changed to muffins. You can never go wrong with muffins, but I don’t think they’d give us nearly the smooth finish we’re hoping for.)

The end should be in sight now…
Though I know His Lordship is going to miss the plastic room.

River's world..... 
Make him🐈⬛ one🎪 knowing the curiousity will rapidly wear off.

I come from a long line of drywall people. Most of them were scoundrels; but, the one who did the mudding was different: My mudder was a saint!

Well if muffins are involved then it must be a good thing right? Glad to see that your contractor is mostly on schedule and that beam looks a lot better than before.

Anything would have been an improvement but yes, he’s doing a really nice job.

You could at least lick muffins though.

Yes. But a muffin ceiling would be so distracting….

Are you removing the popcorn ceiling?

I wish. But no, just parts of it that will need to be redone. Too many other projects on the list…

If you get Muffins, I ‘m sure the Birds and other critters would visit more often.
