johnridleyI started hanging insulation and drywall today. It's starting to look like a room. I bought some rotozip bits and put one in my dremel tool; I'm too cheap to pay $60 for a rotozip tool that I'll use all of 20 minutes in the next 10 years, and I forgot to ask the guy I know who has one if I could borrow his. The bit in the dremel actually works fine, though the dremel is probably getting pissed about eating all the drywall dust; I'll have to blow it clean with some compressed air and maybe WD40 when I'm done.
This is my first use of a rotozip, and I think they're probably nearly as useful to drywall installers as nailers are to framing crews. Really nice. I did discover that you can mess up a sheet of drywall really fast with one.
I might get the rest of the drywall up tomorrow, then the mudding starts. Yuck.
I need to fabricate a projector mount as well. I went to buy one, but there aren't any acceptable flush mounts that I could find, what I really need is just a plate of steel with a few holes in it, and I can make that in < an hour. Commercial mounts are honestly pretty ugly, only suitable IMHO if the projector is far enough in the air that you don't have to look at them. Plus they're $80 and up.
