Last month I posted about the conundrum of dealing with plaster walls that have seen better days.

This past weekend we hung sheet rock over the plaster ceiling in our kitchen.

Hanging sheet rock over plaster on the ceiling is much easier than the walls. First we used 1″ x 4″ boards spaced at 16″ intervals. We shimmed the boards where necessary to make the sheet rock as level as possible. Then we were able to attach the sheet rock to the new boards easily.

The sheet rock lift? THAT is a wonderful invention and well worth the rental fee.
