Addition update

[spedbug]

This morning, I taped and spackled the horizontal drywall joints and screw depressions (no, that's not a euphamism for a bad lay) in the addition. When that's dry, I'll do the corners. When all that is dry, I'll put a second coat on, sand and feather a third coat. Third time should be the charm.

Here's me spackling:


Here's me after MrBug suggested my work looked sloppy:


Actually, the pictures were taken after the fact. I spackled and then we went out and shingled about 1/3 of the roof (I was going to post a pic of the partially shingled roof but changed my mind. You'll see it once it's completed). MrBug went and met someone that's interested in buying his old work van and I showered. The pictures you see are post-shower (notice how clean the spackle knife is).

Boots has actually been going into the addition, recently. Before, she was too freaked out by the change to venture near.

Savagefuzzball's oral surgery went very well. She was able to eat some soft stuff last night and is, apparently, feeling well enough to go to a party this evening. And to think I was worried. :oP

WEll...that's my idea of style-- without the horns at least!

What can I say? Manual labor makes me horny! ;)

There's nothing like a good spackle, eh? ;-)
