Not much exciting or even mildly humorous to report now. And if you’ve ever done drywall mudding you’ll know why.
.
.
It’s a tedious time consuming process made even more unenjoyable by the fact that it all has to be done over our contractor’s head. My shoulders and neck are spasming just thinking about it.

Scrape, tape, mud, smooth, let dry.
Repeat.

The fact that it keeps raining and the dew point is high makes the quick dry mud anything but so a fan has been strategically placed to aid the process.

Been there – done that – would rather watch from the internet sidelines.

If it turns out well, I’ll be surprised. Very little does around here…

What’ll happen when painting? Will it be smooth or popcorn?

The beam will be smooth. The ceiling popcorn. Much as I hate it I really didn’t want to have to replace the entire ceiling right now…

I don’t think I matters. Call it art and leave it. Unless it irks you unbearably. Lots of money goes into things that aren’t a big deal. Leave the roof and buy a piece of Lalique or something instead 🤩

I know, I couldn’t do it either. And the contractor is tall so using a ladder is worse.
