A Lesson In Corner Beads.......If a corner bead is not installed properly it becomes a type of Homes on Homes situation. The corner beads in this room were installed the full length of the wall. After new construction a home "settles" in. With the corner beads being too long and settling going on....cracks appeared in the wall. Hubby had to hammer out the drywall, cut off the corner beads, scrap off the drwyall mud where the crack had formed, then remud prior to the next stage of painting. The concept of "let's paint the living room" has taken on a whole new meaning for me. There's a lot more work that goes into this job that a TSP wash/sanding and rolling on the paint.
