Board Repair Directions
What are some ways to cover a cracked ceiling?

When I moved into my house the ceiling was cracked from the ceiling fan out to the walls in two directions. I don't want to put new wall board up and repairing the crack is not possible according to my Husband. What are some ways to cover the ceiling up?

It's possible the crack is caused by someone/something in the attic, if that is above. If so, don't walk up there and crack should not occur again. If not an attic above, but another floor instead, it's possible that something/somebody heavy caused the crack. Lastly, it could be the floor joists/ceiling joists are insufficient to support the weight on them, including the cracked sheetrock. If this is true, you have a structural problem that will probably continue to cause overhead sheetrock cracks.
However, repairing the present cracks is not that difficult. Best idea is to use a utility knife/box cutter to dig a shallow V shaped groove along the crack, then use joint compound and paper tape as with any sheetrock finish work. Another less messy option is to use fiberglass self-sticking mesh tape, sold for sheetrock finishing, and joint compound over that. Some practive to feather all edges is needed or the results could be as bad or worse than your cracks.
If you just can't do any of the above, a thin bead of silicone caulk pressed into and along the crack, can mask the worst of the crack!
