Sue caught the head cold going around and so we begin the day trying out a new XBox game, Dragon Age Origins; eight hours evaporate. In the evening we pry ourselves away from the game, and we get some paint on the ceiling and walls. It looks great but we can tell our mudding technique might be coming back to haunt us. We will look again in the morning with fresh eyes.
Tuesday, Jan 19
In the daylight and with paint on the wall, the wall still looks lumpy. Sue takes some cold medicine and heads to work, but to quote Bugs Bunny "I shoulda stood in bed".
Another layer of mud goes on to smooth out the seams and patches. Ugg! After another round of sanding and cleaning, we try one more coat of paint to see if we finally succeeded with the drywall. I think we got it this time.
We call up the electrician and plumber to get them in to finalize their work. The end is in sight!
