    The long piece is two 3/4" plywood scraps nailed together with a 1" overlap. Screwed up with one 2" wood screw at center. The dry wall rest on the lip and I secure the other side with two 3/4" scrap wood pieces; a smaller piece then a longer piece with a washer in between. This lets you turn one piece 90 degrees and lash up the end of the drywall. Then you just move the drywall where you want it and screw it down or up in this case. Well, that's all. hope it help you one day, if you have to do this.

      Marko My husband and son hung the sheetrock in my studio and the garage. I taped and mudded it, then paint and wallpapered the studio. The garage just got a rough coat of mud. We didn't have to mess with the ceilings. They had to be finished when the house was built.

      Changing elements tests just how much patience one has.

      I now have a better understanding of just that, glazenerd. But, I actually enjoyed putting it all back together. I should mention that I also changed 2 timers, 2 power relays, 5 12 gauge wires and a power controller. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot how long it took to get parts and how hot the day was.

      But, it took a toll on my back and hamstrings. So I slept in, but then went and did an empty fire, as Marcia and Richard suggested. Then I made a 5 gal of my favorite base glaze and 5...

      How many words do I get? I keep forgetting and get cut off. Can I get a word counter? LOL

  9. Thank you. Now, these are just perfect. It looks comfortable. It would nice to cup in the hand and feel the warmth of a good tea or coffee. I particularly like the way the handle sits on the cup and not pushed into it. Nice curve too. It compliments the flower. Love it all.
  10. 100 degrees in the studio. 115 degrees put side. And trying to get my kiln fixed. Waiting on parts, again. I think maybe the heats getting to me. I told my wife I wanted to quit.

I ordered it 6-2-12. This real suks. I'm so depressed. I live 7 hours from Paragon. So dpressed, I don't want to do anything. Nothing.
