What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
We have made progress nearly every day and yet it seems like there is still so much to do. If you so much as suggest any more projects this year I'm going to faint.
ReplyDeleteNone that you'll need to be involved in, dear heart. 😁😁
DeleteI'm inspired! I have an area in my laundry room that needs a new sheet of drywall installed and am actually thinking about doing it myself because of you two. In my experience, the more challenges in the project, the more gratifying admiring the end result is for me. Can't wait to see the reveal!
ReplyDeleteYou can totally do it! I will say, go with the paper tape. We both regret using the mesh tape but it was a "learning wall." This guy was incredibly helpful. https://youtu.be/W-p7pvnMAq8 This is a long version but you can search his drywall videos and get them in parts if you prefer.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWe don't really have any projects here at the house other than painting some rooms that stand out. We do need a new deck and if we were keeping the same size, we'd be able to do that ourselves because the hubs did construction for years and is handy with that kind of stuff and is a good teacher. But I want to extend the deck the length of the back of the house to garage and the outdoor faucet would then be covered and not easy to get to, so we said we'd have the professionals come in to help us with that. Still waiting on the windows to come in, and if there is time after that project, then we'll have some trees taken out in the backyard and a shed put in. I'm hopeful to do that this year, but if it doesn't work, then it'll be next spring and the deck afterwards.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good project to tackle and better to hire out since you've got the tricky situation there. We just got our call yesterday that we're on the schedule for September 6 for the windows. Hope you get your call soon! I think you were 2 weeks ahead of us on the purchase.
DeleteLooks like we're on tap for next Wed/Thurs barring any weather issues with the current jobs. I told him we're flexible so if they have customers that are really anxious to work with them first. He'll call on Friday to let us know for sure since we'll each need to take a day off of work (or I may see if I can switch my days at work so he doesn't waste a vacation day). Now to finish cleaning out those rooms! Egads!!!
