Re: Garage Build

i primered 1/2 the walls tonight!! my mudding is actually quite damn good for my first time!! i'm psyched!

tomorrow i'm going to finish priming everything then if it dries in time roll on the popcorn

Re: Garage Build

i've only ever seen that stuff sprayed on. But yeah, its pretty much just wet mud.

Re: Garage Build

k this is an odd question but

i'm going to do a popcorn texture on the garage ceiling.. same as 90% of all houses have.. little bumps all over..

anyways so i bought a little bit of this 'poly stipple' stuff from totem today (small bucket) and the guy gave me texture rollers so i dumped some into a tray and applied it around my garage door mounts as i need to reattach it so i can actually use my garage door again

anyways the stuff basically looks like really white thinned out mud??

second thing
applying it of course it doesn't cover like paint does due to the textured roller

soooooo

i'm going to have to paint over the small areas i've done

then i'm thinking to paint the entire ceiling white then apply this stuff with the roller to get the texture going

then i was thinking.. why couldn't i just thin out my own mud that i have left over and use that... will that work and look the same???? i'm thinking so.....

Re: Garage Build

Re: Garage Build

got the sub-fascia up and finished the sheeting on the roof. Will call for framing inspection on monday.

Re: Garage Build

Thats probably the way to go. Shove bigger stuff in the roof.

Yah, that is what I am going to end up doing. I talked to the guys at Totem and they told me that was really my only option.

I looked at the Roxul stuff, but I figure since my house extends above the garage it does not make it worth the extra cost. If the garage catches fire, the rest of the house will too.
