Yay, our drywall is finally ready for painting. You see, Ed and I took out a couple of wall sections in our house last April. Yes, last April. With our friend Brian’s help, we tore out the old dry wall, removed the sections we didn’t want, put up the new drywall, then Ed and I started mudding. Suffice it to say, we didn’t do a very good job. Well, not good enough to start painting. Mudding is hard! Making the wall smooth and even is not as easy as they make it look on HGTV. So finally, two weeks ago, I called the Handyman Connection and hired someone to finish it.
Michael Ilyin was the contracted who came to fix our wall. After three visits in one week, he was done. The wall is smooth and even. The corners look good, not jagged. Wonderful! Just like that, the wall that was sitting there unfinished for over 6 months was done. Yay! Ok, so it cost us money to get it done. But at least, it’s done. Plus Ed and I wouldn’t have been able to make it look that good. And that in itself is worth what we paid.
So now, we can go ahead and finish painting out living room and dining room. And we can start painting our hallway and foyer. Just in time for the Christmas season!
Next up, that damn bright yellow flowery wallpaper in the kitchen.....
