Scary Cabin

For once we got more done than we planned! Usually it’s the other way around and everything takes 4 times longer than planned. Maybe we’re not as picky about the walls and ceiling in the utility room, but we managed to get all the joints taped and sealed in one day. We definitely didn’t smooth out the joints as well as we had for the other rooms, but after laying down a bunch of texture, it really didn’t seem to matter.

So tape and two coats of joint compound left to dry overnight followed by a light sanding.

While waiting for the first coat to dry, we had time for a trip to One-Eyed Jacks for ice-cream.

Cover the doors, window, outlets/switches and give it a good spraying with texture.

We had everything cleaned up and put away by mid afternoon.
