It’s time to bring in the
professionals for this one… hanging sheet rock on the ceilings and muddin’ the
plaster walls. As seen in the house tour, there is wallpaper on all the
ceilings. Decisions, decisions on whether to scrape all the wallpaper off (not
knowing what type of condition they are in) or hire someone to hang dry wall
over it? The ceilings are 9 foot so I didn’t think a ½” would matter, still
have the same affect, and I could tell the ceilings were wavy with the
wallpaper. That would have taken a lot of time and labor to mud all the
ceilings and try to make it smooth. So sheet rock is going up! Now, muddin’ the walls..first, they taped off
all the large cracks with drywall tape. Then applied drywall mud to smooth out
any holes or cracks and imperfections in the wall.

In the kitchen when I popped off the tiles, the plaster was very weak it started to just crumble and created large holes. With large holes, it is better to dry wall over it than to mud it, especially in the kitchen, because the cabinets need a secured wall to drill in to. Also, when taking out the bulkhead in the kitchen, we needed to fill and patch in drywall there since the kitchen already had dry wall on the ceiling when it was renovated in the 1950s.
Since there was hardly any lighting in this house, I added 22 new recessed can lights. Ah finally, There is light!!!!
