adding this wall made our living room feel larger #firsthomeowner #damagedhome #diyhomeprojects

No corner beads and no tape... This will crack with settling wont be able to handle anything bumping into the edges

I just finished my third cup of coffee. Still trying to figure out how that makes the room feel larger.

Previous owner: Damn … I worked so hard to remove that closet and open up the room!

[Quizzes]

That corner has so much potential. I would have put some nice shelves and use it for displaying things.

30 or 40 screws in each piece of drywall, there was about 10

How you gonna call it 'mud and taping' then just use mud and forget the tape? 😂

[RadDadisRad]

I like the big missing gap of drywall.

[ProfoundWizdum]

Making a storage nook that opens in an entryway instead of into the room.
That is one choice.

[bdub]

I recommend installing a toilet as well.... makes it handy near the front door. Make sure to install the door so it swings inward.

Some times ideas are better left in your head untill they go away.

Strongest part of your project is the bond between y'all. Great job!

This is the most homeowner job I have seen in a while. Not going to talk shit just saying

[keithellis]

How did closing off space make it seem bigger I'm taking walls out to make it feel bigger

[crassbusinessman]

Licensed contractor here. You did an okay job. There's things you could've improved. You are not professionals, nor do you need to be. It's fine... Who gives a shit? I'm glad you got your hands dirty and did a small project like this. Keep it up. The people in the comments are absolutely insane. Yeah...its not perfect. But seriously these people need to go touch grass.

[markwigdor]

I grew up doing exactly what you’re doing here. It’s quite rewarding to complete this, look back and admire the work and saying to myself that looks good and I did it myself. Very rewarding.

[NonyaBuzinezz]

Rip that level. It lasted about as long as that joint with no tape.

[ofcv]

Level shot now, every seam will crack without tape…I think open shelves facing room would have been warmer aesthetic

[zorororonoa]

Love the safety glasses for hanging Sheetrock

[jaysonbates]

You remind me of myself. No experience with this work but willing to serve your family and get it done your selves! Everything is a learning experience especially with DIY home projects. You may have not done it perfectly but nothing is perfect and the best feeling is knowing you did it yourself, learned mistakes to take you onto the next project, and DEFINITELY saved buku vucks
