New Techniques

We are needing to learn new ways to do things in our house building. Instead of the old straight edges for corners, the fashion right now are rounded corners. We have never done that before. So out to building lots to see how to do this. Talk to the professionals we know to get their tips.  We know we don't want to do the corners like they are in the apartment because you can tell there is no mud behind the plastic and we are concerned there could be problems. Sure enough the pros tell us you can do it either way but the preferred way is to put an inch of mud in the rounded edge for stability.

Okay time to try our hand at this.

Look at that pretty soft rounded edge. As if Bill has been doing this forever. You notice I say we but most of this is Bill.

The other thing we needed to figure out are arches. We want all of our openings to be arched. So back out to the building sites and learn from them.

 

Now all that needs to be done ate the rounded edges and mud. So glad we are doing this hallway first.It is a small area and not looking at the whole house to do while learning.
