Reminds me of an episode of Mr. Bean. He did exactly that... used an
explosive charge to paint an entire room at once.

Gee, Glen, why don't you tell me how you REALLY feel. You, too have no
concept of teasing. My sarcastic post flew right over your head. Could
that be because you had YOUR head level with YOUR posterior?? Try to be
a little more intelligent next time and THINK before replying.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Not taping is his right,
of course, but mudding and taping isn't just cosmetic. It serves
to reinforce the edges of the sheet, preventing the sheets from
cracking when put under tension. Anyone who has hung
drywall has had the drywall crack off a bit while being fastened to
the stud at the edge: mud and tape makes that much less likely.

And if you don't care about cosmetics, a quick single application
of mud-and-tape and some sanding isn't all that difficult.

Totallly OT, I get to the Bay Area about once a year from western

Thanks, Dave; I use them liberally. But I'm afraid I use them so much
they lose their effectiveness, so sometimes I just leave them off. I
sometimes post the forgotten smiley when what I read of my own post
appears TOO likely to be misconstrued. Other times, I don't expect
arrows to be slung at me over what I consider an obvious silliness.
I've been guilty of mistaking humor for rudeness on occasion, so I can
see where they are coming from. It would be the decent thing for them
to acknowledge these misunderstandings instead of character
assassination, but I won't hold my breath waiting.

If you're not going to tape, no problem. If you decide to tape after
painting it just makes sanding a PITA. Do you have a detached garage?
Most codes require an in the dwelling garage to be taped. Sorry about
Cn. (meant Ct., honest.).

Brighter is better. I went from white to pastel blue in the living room,
and it takes at least four times more lighting to make the room bright now.

Dad sells some WHITE paint. It makes everything else look dirty by
comparison, even the "super bright" white stuff. I really should paint my
shop with that stuff one of these days.

I can't really paint the walls, but do you "paint your shop, you'll love it"
people think it would be worth just painting the "ceiling"?

My "ceiling" is actually a couple sheets of 3/4" plywood resting on 2x4s
nailed across the ceiling supports. It's a shed with a barn-style roof.
The "ceiling" is about 6' or so, and the lights are only inches above my
head. Mine is not a shop for a tall person.

Note: To get _really_ white-looking paint have the people doing the
tinting add just a 'touch' of *BLACK* tint to the white mix. (where the
minimum tint increment for a _quart_ is '1 unit', '2 units' of black in a
_gallon_ is about right.)

This _sounds_ "silly", I know, but is is amazingly effective.

The logic behind it, as explained by a painting professional: "add a
little bit of black, to make it look blue, so it won't yellow."

4 1/2 years? Is that all you waited? I've lived in the same house since
1980. I looked and looked and looked until I found one that had a 3 car
sized garage, so I could build a decent home shop. Well, I'm finally
getting around to it. Its the result of being a road warrior consultant,
don't you know? I can hardly wait to retire.

I read the posts here about white walls and insulating and I'm definitely
going to make that a high priority.

Thanks for the post.

Well...I guess that's ok...even my wife can't tell when I'm kidding
sometimes! It spoils the fun a bit when I have to explain that I was
kidding, but it IS fun to act all serious when I first make the comment.
She does it to me ALL the time, and I fall for it too, so I DO
UNDERSTAND the concept of misunderstanding someone's dry humor. I've
jumped the gun on several occasions here on the Wreck, prompting my
humble apologies. None is needed on this on, but it's 'preciated just
the same. I can't say I will bother to do the smiley face thing in the
future every time I'm joking around, so please assume I'm not being mean
spirited right off the bat.

All my walls are insulated but I still don't have a ceiling up. Once I do,
I'm going to re-enact the old Cheers episode where Norm painted Sam's office
in 3 seconds flat...

You come across as a sarcastic little prick to a wide
variety of people.

Take a look in the mirror if you want to see the problem.

I did the insulation wallboard thing this summer and finished about a
month ago. You are going to also find that the bright lighting actually
really does affect your mood as well as just make things brighter. I
have always enjoyed the shop, one of the reasons I didn't insulate this
shop sooner was that I wanted to be doing things shortly after we moved
in 4 1/2 years ago. However, now that the shop is so much brighter, I
find myself actually happier when in the shop.

Time to get rid of the steps, and put in a ramp.

It's ADA-mandated, anyway. To deal with your handicap.

I gotta agree with Hank. As I've been sheetrocking sections of my
garage, I just do a quick tape job. Got the adhesive fiberglass mesh
drywall tape, and give it a "quick" cover with some mud. Doesn't even
have to cover it 100%. Just enough to seal it up. then hit it with
your single coat of primer.

Something about taping the seems (even a crappy tape job), makes it
feel finished.

I think it was the day he couldn't find the drill, for the paint-stirrer.
and chucked it in the 3-1/2 hp router, instead. "Soft-start" took care
of the varying distances.

Detached. That makes it harder to heat, thus the insulation. I don't think
there are code issues, but did use EPS foam insulation that in a home
requires to covered with sheetrock, but mostly because it just looks better
this way.

I've not done anything for a ceiling yet. One half has a couple of sheets
of OSB over the 2 x 6's where we store some stuff. The other half has
nothing. It would help to cover that also, but if I make a true insulated
ceiling, then I get into ventilation of the "attic" space.

I bought some white plastic sheeting with fire retardant to use as a vapor
barrier. I've thought of just stapling that on the joists as a heat holding
barrier but I don't know if it will make it worse in the summer.

How do you do that? Set off a small explosive charge in the middle of
a bunch of paint filled ballons? Use a firehose to spray paint?

A) Send all your money to me. (Got my address?)

B) I'll pray for you in my own special way.

C) Pray for Salvation Without Religion.

No, no, no. Wipe up that drool. I said "salvation", with
only one "i".
