How to Sheetrock a Ceiling ALL by YOURSELF with NO Help from Anyone !!! { PART THREE - FINITO }7/1/2013 It took a few days to tape and spackle to my standard. I prefer walls as smooth as possible, which meant sanding in between three coats of joint compound. As you can see, everything gets covered with a very fine powdery dust. A mini Shop Vac, Swiffer and bucket of Murphy's Oil Soap in warm water is a God send when getting everything clean. Excited to create a soothing library ambience, I swiftly rolled in a pure white ceiling... ... then purchased BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ULTRA STAIN BLOCKING PAINT & PRIMER IN ONE which has worked perfectly well on many previous projects. A quart of BRONZE GREEN { 350D-6 } was chosen as the accent color behind the book shelves. It 's the color sample furthest right in this picture. The first streaky shmeer should have been proof enough that it was destined to be HIDEOUS !!! It miserably took THREE coats to cover and ALL my patience with it. A gallon of BAVARIAN CREAM { 340E-3 } was picked for the main wall color; reminiscent of double cream with a hint of coffee. During all this, I popped yet another hole in my ragged work jeans and went to search for a suitable scrap in my fabric bin... where a long forgotten upholstery fabric proved to be just right and just enough for a new window valance that successfully conceals the pipe near the ceiling ! !!! YAY !!! I thanked God profusely for that perk and sewed it up in no time. Despite lies to myself that the BRONZE GREEN would dry to the color envisioned, all it ever did was waste my time and twist my guts. YELCH It was like stepping into a dreaded eight day old bowl of pea soup and was immediately changed using VALSPAR ULTRA in PATINA BLUE The books may not all be put back just yet... but you might be interested to know that this Barber Chair was used in a Documentary about the assassination of mob boss Albert Anastasia. You can click on his name to read more about him. I don't know who painted this portrait of Harry Blackstone, but I've always loved it. Click on his name to read more about him. "If you believe you can do a thing, you can. If you believe you cannot, you cannot." Your comments are most WELCOME

The original Barber Chair had square seating and was sold for $ 8,000.- recently. This chair was used as the prop for a documentary remake of the assassination of Anastasia. Unfortunately the original leather seat upholstery was destroyed in the process of re-enactment. It can easily be reupholstered... The chair is very heavy. Use my e-mail contact info supplied at the top of this page and make me an offer !
