Sorry, I just seen your question.Sea turtle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 11:46 pmHow are you doing your ceiling? I have been debating on doing the back half of my 220 due to some water damage but I'm a little nervous. I don't want to get overwhelmed.
Thank you. The site looks awesome. I just need to spend more time here. We had a little one a couple weeks ago. Pretty excited about him. Here is a pic of him with his first book I got him! The alphabet in car parts!!
Cool. I would love to see some pictures. I'm debating doing that myself. How is it removing the walls and then replacing?ontheroad wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 10:59 amSorry, I just seen your question.Sea turtle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 11:46 pmHow are you doing your ceiling?

I picked up what was called bamboo paneling from Menards. It is only about 1/8" thick. And it makes the radius very well. The only thing we are doing to it is putting poly urethane on it. Then just the stuff that goes thru the ceiling is what is holding it up, cabinets, walls, roof vent, etc. I was really intimidated about doing it, but after I started, it is really a lot easier than I thought. I am however removing each wall, so I can pull the carpet out from under it. Then I have been building a shim or replacing the wall so it makes up the height difference from removing the carpet. I will try to get some picks up this week. I have been working on it on days when its not so cold out...
LOL, great choice of first book - and congratulations!

I will get some pics this weekend as we are planning on working on it since it will be warm outside. The walls were actually way easier than I thought they would be. There is only a couple screws that hold them in from the factory. That is not the case anymore. I put a plate on the floor(inside the wall so you can't see it) and attached the bottom of the wall to it, as well as construction adhesived it down. My goal has been to try to eliminate some rattles. And getting rid of the nasty 45 year old carpet...Sea turtle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 4:02 pmCool. I would love to see some pictures.
