Project progress

Yesterday and today were good progress.

Yesterday I got the holes drilled for the grab bar supports (easy with the right tool from neighbor Andy). Got the two cross braces sawed for the sink support, one notched for the vent pipe, toe-screwed in, taped, mudded twice, sanded. Would have textured yesterday, but my existing spray can was totally clogged. Also went "nuts" and taped/mudded two small settling cracks in other places in the house. And did three loads of laundry and screwed in six replacement planks in the rotting fence and made a grocery run. Oh, and got paint because our existing hall color does not, NOT, go with the remaining wallpaper.

Today got the texture spray and sprayed, took M to PT, started homemade chili in the crock pot, spot painted to seal over all the textured areas, went to Weight Watchers, and silicone-grouted at the baseboards in the half-bath. It has to dry two hours before I can do the finish painting, so here I am blogging. I should be able to get the painting done before C's school band concert tonight. Then tomorrow I can install everything (sink, TP holder, grab bar).

And to top it off, it's turned into a beautiful sunny afternoon.
