And then he didn't use plywood to support the drywall of the arch, so when he screwed the drywall into the support pieces, it bowed the drywall, so when you were looking up at it from beneath it almost looked like an hourglass at each screw where the drywall bowed in and then back out until the next screw where it would bow in again. MAJOR disappointment - and major money hole. We learned our lesson though, and now we're definitely more apt to give stuff a try ourselves before hiring someone else to do it (or wait for my dad to come for a visit!!). :)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107424348218968260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186475679142445348.post-52847842144092326262012-03-30T13:24:36.018-04:002012-03-30T13:24:36.018-04:00Thanks Colleen!
