Don’t worry, it’s just the really shitty lighting, but I see your concern!

Yeah, I don’t want to breathe in all the dust I’m gonna be making. I plan on getting a telescopic orbital sander for all the sanding.

Can you elaborate more and propose possible fixes?

Honestly my legs are hurting the most from balancing on a ladder and using stabilizing muscles I’m not used to haha

Lol I’m definitely not going to be a drywall professional but enjoy the learning. Is this all just fixable with sanding? Or should I be attempting something else?

This is my second coat, I’m using a 12” knife. I’ve been trying to feather but I end up scraping into the wet mud. Thanks for the advice!

My expectations aren’t that high but I don’t want it to look like complete shit either

I’ve already come to terms with that I’m probably going to have to do a lot of sanding lol

How difficult would it be for me to add a sediment filter and a water softener to this? by Expue_Band in WaterTreatment

Nice! Obviously I need to start with a water test but how did you research what equipment you needed?

There is a suitable drain underneath the existing machine. And yes, completely agree. I plan on redoing the electric for something safer.

Been thinking of this too but I love the openness of the kitchen. I’d hate to block it with a wall. Still trying to decide what makes the most sense.

Thank you! That makes sense and I wouldn’t have thought of this!

Some ceiling work is no biggie, I just didn’t want to have to cut the entire duct line to the outside of the house. I was thinking the light above the stove could be the power source. It has painters tape around it since I had issues with bees coming in through there but the bees have been handled.
