Early Morning Home Improvement FUN!

Good Morning!

Quick Recap - last night I left off at spackling. Overnight it dried and is now ready for sanding.

Finally... I get to use my Dremel sanding attachment! This was great fun sanding all the holes (37) in less than 5 minutes. Using a circular motion while holding the Dremel flat, I quickly sanded the walls to smooth and ready state.

Clean up... this is a little less fun. I finished with my Dremel, packed it nicely in it's case and headed down to the garage for the shop vac. Now... for those of you who keep a neat garage like I do and store the hose separate from the vac please note that there is a different hole on the shop vac for the hose to suck as opposed to blow. Now, I would like to blame the early morning or perhaps not being well enough caffeinated... but I really think they should mark these things better on the shop vac itself. Yes, I inadvertently blew all that white dust all over myself. I ended up looking like a deranged snow man in just 1 short second. I should have took a picture... I looked like I played motorboat in an entire kilo of cocaine. I don't know why I shower and put make up on in the morning during home improvement projects.

Well... that was fun! Humbling... but fun.

I'm going to paint now.
