Can't forget David Caradine!!

A little update, less pics, I have not touched the living room since the last pics posted but have been going to town on the kitchen/dining room. I bought some mud that was on sale at lowe's, who would know I would like the way it spreads and that in one day the whole pallet would be gone...

I have yet to thin the mud... Maybe I should!! Might make my job easier. Thanks for all your tips! I will keep the forum updated when I make progress. As you can see it took me a year last time but hope to take less time with the kitchen. I still am thinking of contracting out the ceiling...

bump......

SPI, I will keep in mind what you said about the clean lines. I am going to have to get a quote on wiring so depending on the quote for the lights it may stay as is. I just want a more modern look in a 31 yr old home, hence the bullnose :)

Thanks SPI for all the info and experience you had, I will keep what you have stated in mind, the girl friend really wants to stain the floor so we will see how it goes. So the concrete had to be sanded to smooth it back out huh? No experience on wether or not the new concrete will crack down...

Hello all, My girlfriend and I are in the middle of doing a minor remodel in the kitchen and we are in the middle of figuring out which is the smartest thing to do. I have minor cracks in my foundation and have two options I am looking at. We wanted to poor some self leveling concrete in the...

It has been a year since I last logged on, lots has happened. I stopped coming here when I was sent to school by the AF and have not done much to the house until recently. Here are a few pics of the living room in it's current state. Still have not touched the ceiling!! HAHA!! Will also...

So I bought dry wall screws for the arch... that is the ticket!! I before was using actual nails and I will never use nails again... screws are easier and faster!!

Thanks!! That helps out a lot... guess I will expect to waist some product before I figure it out, testing the corner pieces and all. That pic on there helped me visualize it too!! Almost makes me want to get to it tonight... still need to finish the ceiling in the hallway though. Ironically...

Thanks! I will have to try this... the dust get a little much too!! My house has been extremely dusty a few times now... Can't wait for this project to be finished... atleast the rest of the rooms are smaller... I would tackle the biggest room first!! Well, I did the entryway first but whos...

I am not looking forward to smoothing out the ceiling... I may just pay someone to do that job, I have completed about 5 walls now and am getting burnt on it... the ceiling will be the worse, being vaulted and all...

I may have not been clear and thats my fault, the archway question was about how to "nail" up the bullnose... I had a second question which seemed to have been answered as well, how to get the crown moulding around corners with bullnose, which I did not show pictures of... sorry for the...

HAHA!! She was camera shy! Guess I should have rotated the phot b4 posting it too... my bad

I would not say so, especially if you are using the room as a tv viewing room... It should be modeled around the tv. Any pics?? Rooms done right can look very beautiful and still be an entertainment room... Let us see some pics and we can be a better judge

Some of when I decided it was time for the popcorn to be history... This last one is from the entry way... It had wood paneling half way up and the last half was wallpaper... That was the first venture and did not take any pics...

Thought I would post up a couple pics of what I have done so far... Now that I don't need to work on my car I feel having the opportunity to share what I have done will light a fire for me to finish... There was ungodly wood paneling in my living room and I HATE wood paneling, so one day I...

Here is a couple pics of the archway in question... Second one shows a gap and where the hammer went into the archway... EDIT: I believe the house was built in 1977... if that makes a difference or not on building material...

You want pics of the bullnose/crown molding area or the archway? I am about to post up here in a sec... going thru my pics right now.

Good day to all, first post and have a question, did a little searching and did not find much with my problem. Long story short, I am replacing all my corners with bullnose and I have two archways in the house. I bought the archway bullnose, started nailing it up to find out there is no 2x4's...
