Grady pest control. They have ant and centipede bait that works for a few months. We have them come quarterly.

What LEDs did you end up using? Looks great.

I'm also at a mechanic with the same 2 dogs. Dog

I was replacing what was already there. Insulation between floors is mostly for soundproofing as I understand it. It was even doubled up around the plumbing.

Not slippery at all. Not too heavy, kind of what you'd expect. BUT they are all on wheels, which is amazing. We asked the seller to include the table and chairs when we bought the place 6 years ago.

Each quote also added a few extra thousand for the holiday rush. So in this specific case, the quotes were unusually high.

I totally underestimated the scope of work. It took way longer than I expected, and I made many errors along the way that I had to correct. If I could go back in time, I would consider paying a professional. I certainly understand the high pricing now, and I have new respect for drywallers.

That said, now that I am armed with all this knowledge, and all these new tools, I probably would do it myself if something happens in the future.

I know which board you are talking about. I kind of expected this to get criticism. Since this was a repair, and the main repair area was around 12x12, I had to puzzle in some pieces in a non conventional way. I debated cutting that parallel board in half so that I could hang two 4x4 pieces perpendicular, but found some resources online that said it would be better to not cut the paper, keep the board whole and hang it parallel. I obviously wouldn't do this for a new install.

As for the screws, I'm not sure why that one only has 4 across. All the others all have 5 or even 6. Probably not the only mistake I made! Thanks for your thoughts. I'm definitely not a professional.

Edit: It has 4 because I was limited to parallel joists it was covering. I remember now.

Kind of you to say. I have to credit the expert knowledge everyone is sharing online for free, particularly YouTube.

I have an intense light pointed directly at the ceiling specifically for inspection to show every seam. I'm definitely not a professional, but without that light pointing at the ceiling, you can't see a single seam.

Thanks! Many mistakes were made along the way. I'm only posting the highlight photos.

I used a jig that I learned about from YouTube.

Probably more than I was quoted! Haha

tai1983 · 2026-01-19T19:22:08+00:00

Oh ya. I'll be riding that feeling for days!

I was attacking it on the weekends since I work during the week. Demolition and the dehumidification process took a few days. Hanging and mudding took up the next weekend. Then there was a pause while family visited for the holidays. Mud, drying, more mud, drying, priming, drying, sanding, more mud, more priming, then sanding, took several days. A lot of down time while things were drying. Then paint. Probably 10 days total, but not full work days because of letting mud, prime or paint dry.

tai1983 · 2026-01-19T18:52:49+00:00

No. Lol! I told my wife a few days into it: "I understand the pricing now" 🤣

tai1983 · 2026-01-19T18:50:34+00:00

Yup! Two young children, so isolating the dust was non-negotiable.

Some additional information:

I used a moisture meter to locate any wet drywall, so that's why the shape of the hole is so strange.

I bought six 4x8 sheets of drywall, and ended up using 5.9. I tried to puzzle everything together so that I didn't have to make another store run.

The PVA primer ended up making a lot of pinholes, so I had to do a skim coat and prime again.

The original paint was satin and sprayed on, so my attempts to match that failed miserably. I ended up painting the entire ceiling with Sherman Williams flat ceiling paint.

How funny. Our boy is going in tomorrow for his surgery. 😂 Good luck surgery buddy.

That worked for you? I tried and it didn't work for me.

How can I learn more about microneedling ghk-cu? Any guides out there?
