It's definitely a repair that takes some time and skill. If you're going to attempt it, I recommend getting a piece of drywall and practice a little. It doesn't take that long to pick up the technique, but if you practice on something you can throw away, you'll have better results once you move to the real wall. The main difference between a great drywall guy and an amateur is the amateur takes five times longer and does a lot more sanding. 😉

And thanks for the zap!

I appreciate the advice! I’m having an internal debate of whether I should take the time to do it myself (properly) versus paying a skilled person who can do it more efficiently as you noted. The long-term answer should be to do it myself I think. ✌️

You'll need to remove any loose tape and drywall compound, then re-tape the corners. That involves laying in a thin bed of drywall compound, laying the paper tape into it, and using a taping knife (like a big spatula) to smooth the tape into the compound and squeeze the excess compound out from under the tape. It will look like hammered shit at this point, don't panic. You let that dry, then apply a thin layer of compound over top, smoothing and feathering it out to blend into the wall. Let that dry, then sand it down smooth and apply another coat, feathering it out further this time. The goal is a seamless transition, so you may need several thin coats, sanding in between, to get it to look good.

It's a specialized skill, and it takes practice, but it's not very complicated. Just takes patience and a strong sanding arm. Make sure you get it all as smooth as you can before priming and painting - it's much harder to sand out any imperfections once there's paint on the wall.

The outside corners might not have paper tape, they might have metal or plastic corner bead that's attached with nails or screws. If that's the case, and the corner bead is solid and not loose, you should be able to just knock off any loose drywall compound, give it a rough sanding, and smooth over a couple of new layers of compound.

For the inside corners, after the initial bedding in of the tape, you'll want to work the walls one at a time. Do one side, let it dry, then do the other side. Let that dry, then sand both sides together. Repeat. Unless you have a lot of practice, it's very easy to screw up the side you just finished if you try to do the opposite side while the compound is wet.

Thank you very much for this thorough response! This definitely seems like quite the project 😔

Hi nostr! I’ve been putting off repainting some rooms at home. One of the rooms has peeling “tape” or whatever it’s called at the corners where the drywall connects. What is the best way to replace the tape before painting? Simply scrape off and reapply some new tape with special adhesive stuff?

I’m out for a walk. I’m reminded how there are few simple pleasures that put a smile on my face like passing a stranger and hearing a Southern “Good mornin’.” #gmprotocol

Mornin’!

Are you a list person? And do gently cross it off or murder it?

I’m one who gently crosses off the list. Usually the list is in hand so I make a swift action of a single strike-through across each item as I progress through the list.

Is it fixed now? 🙃

Is there anything nostr-related happening with the Biden/Trump Show in a couple of hours?

Like a drinking game, but not drinking. Definitely game though.

Peer reviews needed!

I popped this track onto nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg to make it easy to access. Go check out my track "The Chemist" and let me know what you think of it.

I am open to all feedback!

I am still in the mixing process and balancing the levels of certain elements, but I wanted to get some input on how its going.

Let me know!

Also, what do you think about the artwork!?

Definitely a chill vibe. The first thirty seconds or so set the tone before the beat starts to pick-up around the 0:45 mark. The different sounds/instruments used provides a “pleasure buffet” for the ears.

The artwork complements the track very well. For me, the water drop appears suspended-in-time (slow-moving) which I infer as a peaceful, calm, natural movement while it has a futuristic feel to it. That is how the music flowed for me, and I would include it in my chill playlists.

I’m new here. Found Nostr by way of the Primal app, that I found by way of nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7 on IG when he mentioned using Primal for bitcoin zaps amd transactions.

What I notice over here in Nostr land is Devs talking about getting more conversions to Nostr, yet it seems more geared to Devs…

As a non technical human artist,

I am asking what is Nostr anyway.

With the help of some Chicago plebs and chatGPT, I finally have the mempool fees and bitcoin block height set as sensors in Home Assistant. (Using the native bitcoin sensor in HA points to blockchain.com which always had stale data for me.)

I then setup an automation in my office (where I do WFH), where the office lights blink when a new block is mined.

Here is how it looks (I sped the playback for each block after the first few blinks):

Hello!

Are there any Imams here?

I would like your opinion on #bitcoin

Is it considered *halal* investing because you aren’t earning interest and it is clean?

Or is it *haram*? Considered gambling, taboo…?

Is there a definitive answer?

I don’t care how “healthy” a smoker claims to be, they will never convince me that smoking is good for you.

Smoking is only good for you if you are the one selling the cigarettes to users as you’re banking money. If you’re a user, you’re only shortening your potential life span.

Sucked and rained like usual, but I did get alot accomplished on my to do list, so that's all that really matters.

Its time to smoke weed and waste time playing video games on my phone.
