We partied at Sterling Hall, a new mansion on Paces Ferry

My mouth got repetitive stress injury from saying "Wow."

Repairs for Chirstmas guests: My son the Master Caulker

We're having a house full of family guests this Christmas and we're puttin' on the dog. The wife says, "No 2 x 4's in the guest rooms."<br /><br />Our house is vintage 1950, a post-war minimal traditional. After 60 years it has some sags.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/5225184925/" title="P1050541-2010-12-01-Fixing-Ceiling by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1050541-2010-12-01-Fixing-Ceiling" height="480" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5242/5225184925_30324c957b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />This is actual sheet rock, not wallboard, not gypsum board, not plaster. It's like concrete, attached to the ceiling joists with nails. We have 2 rooms left with the stuff. The other sagged first and we've fixed it.<br /><br />I've been supporting this one with 2x4's for a year. I'm a guy. I don't care. I could wait another year or 2.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/5225780368/" title="P1050539-2010-12-01-Fixing-Ceiling by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1050539-2010-12-01-Fixing-Ceiling" height="480" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5121/5225780368_62317b1e93_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I'm sure the proper thing to is rip down the ceiling and put up a new one. But it's way cheaper to screw the old one up there and camouflage the cracks and ripples with mud and flat ceiling paint. I mean, do you want a 60 year old house to look brand new?<br /><br />Fortunately my son has been helping.
