Afternoon Woodsnitzes. Trimmed out a couple of windows with sills, filled some cracks in some drywall joints because my Sheetrock guy is worthless. There’s a reason he was the lowest bidder. Cooking steaks and watching foosball now.

No, she was cute but damn. Probably didn’t help that we didn’t have a garage door on it until recently and a bunch of humidity got in there.

Russ, done think it's caused from the house settling at all possibly too?

Yes it was warm, couple that with the 5/8” thick rock, I’m not surprised the ceiling is settling some.

That foundation is rock solid, 3500 PSI concrete with a bunch of bar and piers in it.

Might have dried too fast or put on too heavy or a combo. Paint will fill hairline cracks.
