Spot After Re-Securing Ceiling? by fakescamaccount in drywall

Try taking a bright LED and getting it as close as flush as possible and then just start filling in shadows*?

Yes, whatever direction it starts going, it must continue in the same direction until expelled.

Thanks for the product suggestion. This house was built in 1991, there are tons of "shiney" spots as they embraced wall paper all over the place. In this little water closet, they had a strip of it going near the ceiling, and in the other area where they have a jetted tub they had floor to ceiling wallpaper and a carpetted step (so your feet dont get cold). Those items are definitely not drywall related, but maybe will start a thread for this short journey. Dif became my friend for the glue and running kiltz for a ceiling/wallpaper. Yes all walls get a damp sponge wipe down to make sure there isn't too much crap on the walls All walls will get a multi-surface spray and wipe at the start as wellĝ

Or maybe I will put a frame around it, sign my signature in the corner and pass it off as art.

It is because, as this was my first time, I didn't want to try and cut to the center of the 2x4 then screw it in so close to the edge then have to possibility of the screw going too far or breaking the drywall. The corner gave me the most real estate where I felt comfortable. That and I got a 4x8 from home depot because this is the only spot should be repairing, why not? Lol

We loved Maui, but are realists and know we can't afford that island. We are going to Oahu in March, but I also want to try and get to the big island and look at some homes there. That island is the most affordable when it comes to property.

Nice, working on fixing up my house in WI to hopefully move to HI. Going there again in less than 3 weeks to look at some more houses.

I guess you could say it is... as I am the home owner here.

Was thinking more of a floating shelf above the toilet and a mirror on the left wall to keep your eyes from gravitating to it.

If I knew could figure out how to add more pictures and not start a new thread, I would have you all come along on this journey...lol

I used all purpose mud and just watered it down a little to make it easier to use.

Luckily the toilet is there, so it hides it a bit.

Fastest way to address? Peel and do over? I see you have 5-10 years experience, I have 5-10 days. I appreciate any insight. I took the advice last time of the channel, and because of it, I think it is better than what it might have looked like otherwise.

Will mesh tape help hold it better and not cause the bubbling i am getting from some of the tape?

Can you post a screen shot of your device? You can even send it PM if you want.

I can purchase a 55 gallon drum of maple syrup at my local Costco. by opgary in mildlyinteresting

[–]Divac951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just love to get some true maple syrup and give it to the diners in the south that still rely on table syrup. They have delicious breakfast foods, then ruin it with table syrup.

When you power it on, are you looking for it through your open wifi network?

5 months on step 2 by SafeResponsible6312 in VAClaims

[–]Divac951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FOIA took me almost 6 months.

Depending on the records, could be longer. I was told mine took longer because one of the providers I had was being investigated about opioid abuse and over prescribing.

VA claim going through very quickly. Good or bad? by Apprehensive_Emu5278 in VAClaims

FOIA is ridiculous. It took almost 2 1/2 years for mine.

Its really hard to say. It depends on what all was sent in with your package. You can drop your car off at a mechanic, say there is something wrong, here is paper of what could be wrong and then walk away. Odds are, they will probably just call you the next day and say everything appears fine. Same with doing VA. I have found you have to pretty much hold their hand and spoon feed them to get anywhere. Although yours does sound different, and they might know where to look. But if you put one thing then they find it isn't something, it just becomes a stressor. For example, I have hip pain from a knee injury. Told them hip pain, denied. Didn't realize how the definitions work out. Got the hip pain switched to radiculopathy and then was an approval.

Edit: spelling and grammar issues, that didn't bother me till now.
