I figured that from your FB posts !! :)

Remodeling is usually not fun (or easy), especially when keeping things up to code. The fun part is getting to do it how you want, but then you're restricted to HOW you can make it how you want. I hope your end results are all you hoped for!
 
That the ticks are really still bad right now ! I woke up and my right ear was hurting real bad , I thought I might had slept funny last night and when I went to take a shower I saw that my ear was all red and painful to touch . A tick was right at top of ear and I couldn't get it out , I had neighbor try and he said the tick kept breaking off. I went ER to ear b/c my ear was really painful and red and thought it was infected already. I had to wait over a hour and the nurse wasn't able to get the head out of my ear . I was given some antibiotic and was told my ear could get an infection by trying to get the head out or leaving it in my ear . :( The only good think about this that is my right ear and I don't wear a HA in it anymore.


I also learned that some parents aren't too bright ! There was a little boy who may have a concussion b/c he fell of his new Hoover board in the house and had no helmet on when trying to use it. The kid was lucky he didn't hit his head against a edge of a table or something .

Ouch... I have been wondering about the flea, ticks, and mosquitoes for next year... It has been so warm that they are still out... I have to wonder how bad will they be in the spring when it starts getting warm again?
I hope you heal well and we all get a good cold snap to keep the numbers down...

Why do you often make comments like these?

For all you know, the parents may have left the room and the kid went ahead and played with his new toy and didn't put his helmet on. Were you there yourself to see how this happened?

Did you use a roller to paint it? It will be my roommate's new room so if we make painting errors, she will be the one who has to see it daily. Hahahahaha

What I have run across in the way of instructions the most is to "cut in" around where it meets the walls with a brush and then fill in while that edge is still wet with a roller.

Thats my plan when we paint the ceiling. Plaster is still not dry from yesterday. I didnt know that it takes that long to dry. Wow.

I think I remember you mentioning rain and generally humid weather. That will increase the drying time. Which to me makes good sense. If the air is humid, where is the water that was mixed in the plaster going to go?
 
That I forgot that I need to start SQL Server on my laptop before I can start playing around with it. Duh. It's been awhile since I've had SQL Server on a laptop.

Edit: And I just found out that the samples in the book I'm using to learn T-SQL were done exactly one year ago. Spooking, eh? :D

Oh, you need to get that head out before it does more damage. :(

She did say when she went to ER someone tried to get the head out but couldn't get it, gave her antibiotics.

I like your hello kitty marksman!

We've been going thru the conversion from popcorn to smooth ceilings in our house, too. It's messy and time consuming. The results are nice though.

The most difficult ceiling was the family room/kitchen ceiling, which all runs together as one large L-shape room. Unlike the other rooms where we just painted the ceilings, we installed a beaded board and beamed one. It was quite a task! Putting up 4x8 sheets of beaded board, one beam 35 feet long, cutting out the holes for vents, recessed lights, and ceiling lights/fans . . . whew! TCS did all the work himself except for some help from the grandkids holding up the sheets of beaded board.

We have sheet rock rather than plaster under our popcorn.

I read that, yes. I think she might need to go back to have them finish the job.
