The following prose involves a few notes about the process of ceiling repairs. Instead of hiring a trained professional, to attempt the repairs a decision has been made to attempt the repair process.
Yesterday, a few early hours of the morning involved a few home repairs. Even a brand new house involves a certain degree of maintenance and that task is the true test of homeownership. Last week a water pipe under the sink collapsed and flooded a kitchen cabinet, the kitchen floor, and a wall in the basement. The repair only took a few minutes of actual labor. Unfortunately, the supply cabinet in the garage was fresh out of extra plumbing supplies. Traveling to the hardware store had to wait until a proper water damage averment protocol could be developed.
The hardware store was selling a new type of orange peel textured spray. However, the repairs involve dealing with the very height of a vaulted room. The weight of the ceiling fan might have caused a series of cracks along the edges of the sheetrock. Could this be a sign of poor construction techniques? In reality, the cracks probably indicate a combination of poor techniques and the inadequate use of building materials.
Currently, after the application of a base layer of drywall tape the first layer of drywall spackling is drying. Eventually, the drywall will need to be sanded down before a layer of orange peel textured spray can be applied. Finally, a coat of paint will cover the layer of orange peel textured spray. Theoretically, after the completion of the process the ceiling will appear to be uniform.
Yet, those questions about the uniformity of a repaired ceiling will have to wait for definitive answers. Those answers will unfold at the end of the project.
