How much is a Kings Ransom?

I don't know how much that is, but I
would gladly pay it if I didn't have to
do today's job! Working inside the
house mostly today, had some cracks in
the walls and ceiling that need
attention. So today's job was scraping
off the old texture and trim so we
could get at Al the cracks and make
repairs. I hired a guy to do the major
work, which includes the taping and
repairs and will eventually be a couple
windows and front door and new
flooring. But I wasn't able to find a
peasant to do the scraping, so that was
on the king. I wouldn't want to wish
that job on anyone and would gladly pay
a Kings Ransom to not do it again! Lol.
So if anyone knows how much that is, I
would appreciate the info.

Every time I have finished drywall in the last 15 years, I said never again.
I did a big job at the state ag museum about 5 years ago and I have not done one since.
Never say never, though.

jon I believe a kings ransom is his weight in gold :lol: I have found out the hard way that taping and mudding is best left to the pro's who know what they are doing, every time I have attempted it I have mad an unholy mess :lol:

I don't mind sanding it out, except that I can't work overhead much anymore.

Since getting married, I've found that the wife doesn't mind taping and floating. I was thrilled to teach her....now SHE gets to do it! ROFL
 
You have to think of it this way Jon, there's always something worse you could be doing. I'll trade you drywall repair for knob/tube wiring removal and plaster repair.
