Headway

Long and busy weekend. Weather was quite nice, overcast and mild. So Saturday morning I washed and waxed my bike and Darlene's car. Sat night we went to some friends and learned to play blackjack in anticipation of a productive trip to Shreveport next weekend (NOT!) Anyway, we had a lot of fun even though I lost about $125 of pretend money.

We also (well Darlene) painted the bannister for the faux balcony so its pretty much ready to hang now.

Of all the household, handyman chores, Sunday was the one I hate the most. Of course we are in texas, so no, you can't have a smooth wall, you have to have textured walls and ceilings (better to hide the drywall imperfections....). So we tackled the remaining knockdown texturing we had to do. And we have this wonderful little patch kit to do about 70 square feet, including arch. After a short break to go get more media, we finished. Yes, we finished, the knockdown texturing. We are now ready to paint, and can soon hang the doors, the bannister and the crown molding. Yes, crown molding..... Be sure to stay tuned for that one!
