Hello everyone,
First time poster, so forgive me if this question has been answered before. I have a suspicion that like some other challenges in home remodeling that I'm perhaps making this more complicated than it is....
I have a large spiral staircase that runs down to the basement. Behind this spiral staircase is an unfinished room that I'm finishing. The staircase curve is all framed out and ready for me to slap 2 sheets of 1/4" up to bend and attach...once I get the ceiling up. However, that's where I'm stuck. What's the best way to transfer that curve radius to the drywall so I can make an accurate cut for the ceiling? I tried cutting out the curve on the bottom plate to a big sheet of paper, and that somewhat served the purpose, however its pretty off in that there are 1+" gaps in some areas of the curve and ceiling, which I think would be hard to mud and tape(?). I'm hiring someone to do the mudding/taping, so I'm not sure if the gap is "acceptable" by their standards.
Thanks for the help!
