On Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:16:39 -0400, against all advice, something
compelled Nate Nagel , to say:

However it looks like on the previously exposed area someone just
shoved some mud in it and called it good, and the crack has also not
reappeared in the two plus years we have been in the house, which says
to me that it's pretty stable. Would it be really, really bad to just
do the same? To fix it "right" I'd probably end up painting the whole
damn ceiling, and I'm just not ready for that yet (and I don't know that
I have enough paint to do that... right now I'm just trying to make it
look "acceptable," a full repaint/color change is a ways down the road)


If you don't mind doing it over again a ways down the road, it
sounds like an ok plan to me.
