Radius

Drywall radius, a photo by Donna & Andrew on Flickr.

I asked the sheet rock guy how he did this tight radius curve on our stairs. I thought he may have scored the back of the drywall or sprayed it with water to soften it but he said he just ... slowly... pressed it into place. We've had considerable rain in the last week or two and he said the sheet rock has absorbed moisture and that's why it can bend like this without snapping.

Ha! And I thought there couldn't be a silver lining to all this rain!
