Walls done, trim and ceiling done beautiful line where wall and ceiling meet! Satisfaction!!

Used all Benjamin Moore paint. Pricey but worth it. I'm always impressed with the quality.

There is more to life than sewing!


Say what ?
It's true. Sometimes there are little jobs to do. During an impatient teenage need to rearrange his room a bookcase fell over in son#1's room I have been procrastinating but one of the things I promised myself recently is that these jobs will have a start date and not get put off. 
This is the hole after I cleaned it up with my dremel and its drywall bit. #love my toys
I was lucky to have a stud on one side. It gave me a stable place to start. 
Next, using liquid nails and paint stirrers, I created some support for the new piece of drywall. 
Then I measured and cut the new piece. 
Shaping the original hole and cleaning it up made cutting the new piece easy. Then I applied (blobbed) liquid nails on the paint stirrers I glued in earlier, as well as the stud and carefully placed the patch. Now the glue dries. 

I don't claim expertise in this stuff but it's good to be able to take care of things yourself. The wall has texture so I suspect it will be impossible to match it exactly. 
Next spackle.
