Still alive - just tackling a HUGE DIY

[cwarren150]

This is by far the best and most elaborate DIY threads!

 

[twistr25]

Been a week, figured it was time for a bump

 

[daksin]

Been another week! What's goin' on with this thing?

 

[Jester369]

Sorry - been working on lots of smaller projects, but nothing a photo would really show. I'm hanging some more drywall and I'll snap some pix.

 

[oldstyle69]

mm snap some of Red too!

 

[Jaybird]

HOLY MOTHER OF GAWD!!! How did I miss this thread?

Well done Jester!!! WELL DONE!

Cheers
Jay

Some more drywall progress...

Master closet:

And looking the other way:

And one of the kids rooms:

Curved drywall is ok to do, not impossible, but that 1/4" stuff is so damn thin that it gets damaged if you just look at it wrong.

 

[Jester369]

And the other kid's room - haven't got the ceiling in on this one yet:

Looking more and more like a house every day!

 

[HefeHood]

Very nice. Looking for updates daily.

 

[flatlandbeerman]

Looking good and making good progress considering you're doing the work yourself.

And the other kid's room - haven't got the ceiling in on this one yet:

How challenging is it taping and mudding the curved wall to ceiling joint?!

 

[Jester369]

How challenging is it taping and mudding the curved wall to ceiling joint?!

Well, tape and mud is one of the few trades I'm not doing, but the guy did a great job of it, without taking particularly long to do it. I'll post pics when I am back at my desk... Sometime!

 

[twistr25]

Bump, bump, bump it up!

 

[HefeHood]

Hope all is well with Jester. Been pretty quiet lately.

 

[oldstyle69]

his desk is really really far away.

 

[HefeHood]

Just hoping all is well with Jester and Red. Hope the house build is coming along OK. Been a long while since the last update.

 

[cjokrap]

Thanks for posting! Subscribed and eagerly waiting for new pics!

If it was me, before I sell all the walls up, I would back everything with wood. Like towel bars, hand rails, TP roll, TV sets, big peaces of art work, anywhere I knew something was going to go.. just everything backed with wood behind the rock, so I knew I always had something to screw into, it is all scrap.

 

[241]

Hoping the build is going well

 

[rockinmarty]

Jester, are you OK? just give us a sign it's been more than 2 months. Hopefully you didn't fall through the floor again

 

[Flomaster]

OMG... so EPIC.... maybe one day i'll be able to build a custom one off place...

[Mdsutton]

Jester?? Is everything ok?

Was wondering why didn't you use the quad lock decking between floors?

 

[LandoLincoln]

Somebody is going to have to drive to his house / jobsite and make sure he's still okay.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

He was online two days ago - he just hasn't posted since July. Probably a little preoccupied getting the house finished.

 

[Gear101]

Hope he comes back with some really nice finish pics of the house.

 

[ImNoExpert]

Nice!

 

[Orthobrewsky]

Once again, I am impressed. Jester is a superior being.

 

[MuddyCreek]

Every now and then somebody comes along to remind you how not-epic you are.

First we had the definitive Red Thread which certainly made me an envious S.O.B. and then this damn DIY house thread.

Damn You Jester..... Damn you for making me feel so ordinary!
