Bowed Ceilings

Nothing too informative to mention about the drywall install. I discovered bowed ceilings can make drywalling the walls difficult when one doesn't realize that's the issue. Eventually I clued in and created a "level line" that was 4 foot down from the highest point then used the level line to measure how much to cut off the top of the drywall - then they'd at least be level and line up with the studs. I attached all the top sheets of drywall first, then would cut the lower ones to fit after that. I was planning on using the green board on all exterior walls, but have enough that I'll probably just do all the lower halves in green board for extra protection. To hold the sheets in place while I screwed them in, I fashioned a brace that I could push into place to keep the sheet tight against the ceiling.

Just used some 2x4 scraps. Took 2 minutes to make and worked great.

Brace in action.

Here's all the pics. Little bit of a panoramic - started at the window and turning to the right each time. You can kinda see that I finished up all the ceiling too. I even used some old scraps of drywall on the ceiling so I didn't have to cut up bigger sheets of the new stuff.

Was finicky, but you can see the wall tv boxes turned out well.
