what a pain!
I also installed a chimney and woodstove I guess I could take pictures of that
the rest of the stuff is boring, insulation, drywall, flooring, nothing cool
really hoping the new house just has fun projects and no blown in insulation over falling in ceilings
I just had a grout mishap myself. The stupid sealer I guess didn't take on this other encaustic concrete (i don't know if it was a bad batch because it is the same stuff) and we couldn't get the haze off. We went and had to get a buffer to take up the freaking haze. It was awful. I will say this: do not use black grout. That stuff is near impossible to clean. I made that mistake in this other room and paid the price (and I don't even like how it looks anymore).
Drywall is my least favorite thing in the world. I almost gave up on it and started to make slaked lime. Everyone talked me out of it (why does everyone hate lath an plaster?). I am terrible at it. But I am a plumber and that is my excuse...
Our ceiling fell in one room, but I replastered that. The other one has acoustic tiles and some of those fell out. We don't get insulation falling, just bits of asphalt/tar from the roof that some one replaced a while ago. Hell, our house didn't have insulation until I added it to a few rooms (mostly for sound reasons).
Be interested to see the woodstove. We don't see stuff like that out here too often.
