Last night, Friday night, while Joanna and I drank 2 bottles of wine and watched, Jay finished sheet-rocking the dining room. Today, Saturday, we rented a giant sander from Home Depot and proceeded to make a mess. Apparently, the previous "mudders", felt that they needed to do everything incorrectly and didn't even screw the sheetrock ceilings into the old plaster and lathe. Therefore, they were coming down along the edges of the rooms. Enjoy the photos and be thankful you aren't like us. :) We hope this works. After renting the sander and screwing in the sheetrock, we sorta thought maybe we should have just gutted the ceilings too.
