| May 19, 2021 at 2:30 | comment | added | habrockc | Thanks everyone for your input. I replaced the drywall but am still unsure about how to finish a corner piece that is sticking out (hangs lower than existing ceiling) that I can't force up any further without crumbling the drywall. I asked in a new question as this specific post is considered resolved. (<diy.stackexchange.com/questions/224498/…). | |
