I've hit a snag with my kid's bedroom!
The vapor barrier and battens are installed in the ceiling and slanted ceiling, and I'm ready to start plastering the ceiling, slanted ceiling, and walls. That's when I see the problem. Or actually, I've seen it for a while but haven't had the energy to address it...
The exterior wall that meets the slanted ceiling leans outward (seen from the floor up), and it leans differently in various areas. In the corner where the exterior walls meet, there's no lean, but as you move away from the corner, it leans more outward. Somewhere in the middle of the room, the lean decreases somewhat.
The result is that if I place the plasterboard to get a nice transition between the slanted ceiling and exterior wall in the corner where there's no leaning, I end up with a substantial gap of 3-4 cm where the leaning is worst. It's not something that can easily be hidden with a small trim, in other words.
So what do I do now?
Is it time to roll up my sleeves, jigsaw out meter-long wedges, and space with cc30 against the exterior wall, or are there simpler ways?
The house was built in '46, and the leaning exterior wall I'm supposed to attach the plasterboard to is made of hefty dimension standing planks. The ceiling and slanted ceiling have already been spaced, as mentioned.
Then I have a minor problem. How do you prevent the plasterboard from sliding off the drywall lift when the slanted ceiling is 40 degrees? The lift is the type that can be tilted.
Best regards,
Carl-Johan
