Over the last week, I have been applying drywall to the lowered ceiling constructed to create the lighted cove in our master bedroom. I have only one piece of sheetrock left to screw in place.
I am
using #6 x 1¼” screws to fasten the sheetrock in place. That’s an interesting
thing: screwing stuff in place when constructing something. In my experience,
one of three problems will arise at some point: either you run out of screws
before you finish, or the screws on hand are too short or too long to do the job.
For this latest part of the project, I ran out of sheetrock screws just as I
arrived at the last sheet.
The
problem with screws is akin to the construction rule that the first extension
cord you roll out will be five feet short, or the ladder you have is not tall
enough. Today, armed with a fresh box of screws, I will screw the last piece of
drywall in place.
