It is amazing how many types of mud there are associated with sheetrock.

(Guess who's been doing some reading. Rhetorical. )

I'm reading a book call The False Inspector Dew.

It's something I picked up after seeing a review on unusual mystery novels. This was written in the early 80s and has certainly been unusual so far. It is vaguely reminiscent of P. G. Wodehouse in style.

The famine heroine, if I can call her that, started off on the first page comparing herself to one of the heroines in one of her favorite tragic romances (Moths)

"She, too, was quite unconscious of her own great beauty"

This sentence just all kinds of cracks me up.

I haven’t watched this yet, but I like this guy he has great info and it’s about drywall, so I’m linking it here.

Thank you very much! I'm working up my nerve to do the dining room.

If you’re doing the whole wall it’s easier than patching. That way you have nice clean lines to mud over.

Take your time, plenty of sanding, smoothing, and remember, you can always sand all the mud away and start over.

Get a good mask/ventilator.

Alas, it will mostly be patching. A few new areas, but piecemeal.

Then make straight cuts! Or just take out large sections.

When I was redoing a bathroom a few years ago I started just trying to patch. Realized that it eoyld be faster anc easier to just cut out almost the whole wall.

Large sections? Ouch. That might mean doing the whole room!

I mean, if you like bumpy walls and doing lots of odd seams, don’t let me dampen your fun.

Aren't you the one who told me I could handle a floor sander by myself?

Why, yes. Yes, I think you are.

The most important part of doing drywall is not wearing a shirt or bra under your overalls.

Oh, yeah, well no bra in those situations is a given.

You know how when you make pancake batter and little bubbles sometimes form?

Today, the little bubbles looked like eyes.

I fear this may be a prelude to a Cthulhuian kind of day.
