<\/a>Here’s the starting hole above the sink. We ran into 2 electrical runs in the wall, which prompted an emergency call to Wendy for assistance. We’d left all our electrical tools and supplies at home… whoops!<\/p><\/div>\n
After Wendy brought all the electrical stuff and we re-routed the runs to the left of the holes in the attic, we really got underway.\u00a0 I didn’t take pictures of the progress, but Wendy remembered a technique from a “This Old House” episode where cuts were made lower into the drywall to accommodate the incoming studs for the frame.\u00a0 It worked out pretty well!<\/p>\n
<\/a>We used vinyl corner bead that you can see around the edges to protect them if they get bumped. I really like the stuff. The only trick is getting it to lay as flat as possible by making nice and neat corner cuts and not nailing it in too tight. I’ve decided that drywall screws just don’t work that well with the vinyl bead.\u00a0 Here’s Mark starting to apply the mud over it.<\/p><\/div>\n
After he finished the coat of mud, we decided to call it quits for the day.\u00a0 Here’s\u00a0 pictures from both sides.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Who’s that messing with the fridge in there?<\/p><\/div>\n
