Comments (0) - When Allan and I bought the house, there was some damage in the basement ceiling caused by a leaky faucet in the master bathroom. We've fixed the faucet, but last weekend I was working on mudding and taping the new ceiling. I've sanded down the seams and it's ready for paint, but it created a huge mess that we're still cleaning up. I'm probably going to develop lung cancer from all of the dust I breathed in.
