I think I mentioned that one of the improvements we've made in The Room is that my husband re-oriented the closet door, so it opened properly into the room, instead of toward the wall. That means that what used to be the inside botton of the door is now the top outside, and apparently had been kicked repeatedly, or water-damaged, or something; my husband got it sanded yesterday. I felt a bit better today, so tomorrow if I'm still feeling ok, I'm going to paint it.

Also, the drapes were ordered Friday evening, and I'll be damned if they didn't actually show up TODAY! By a USPS Truck! I was absolutely discombobulated with shock and surprise. I guess when amazon Prime says free two-day shipping, they really fucking mean it!! :giggle: Holding the burgundy drapes against the burgundy in the comforter, it's a perfect match. :) :) :)

Did a bit of painting myself today. I want to replace my bathroom light fixture with a small ceiling fan with a light. Well no sense putting up a new ceiling fan on a nasty looking ceiling and 15 years of smoking here mixed with shower steam had the ceiling looking bad, even after scrubbing it. So today started painting the trim up there and got most of it rolled out with first coat. Hope tomorrow night I will have it finished and be able to put the new ceiling fan up there. It gets a bit warm in there during the summer months so the fan should be a big help with that.

I used to be VERY fond of a good pinot noir.. or even a mediocre one, it was that 14% alcohol I really cared about. :giggle:

I can't even imagine trying to paint a ceiling -- I somehow got splatters of paint on my back just from reaching up to paint at the top of the wall! :giggle:

Lol.. yeah, the Cali and Oregon ones can get UP there. Now Zinfandel (not the "white"), I've seen some of those come in around 18%! Those will mess ya UP!

I wasn't too wild for zinfandel; there was one called "white grenache" (which was actually pink) that I quite liked; it wasn't as sweet as rose, but definitely not tart like chablis.

I used muscles I forgot I had painting the ceiling :teehee: Woke up a few time with my neck and shoulders in agony. This morning after I got up and limbered up some went ahead and second coated the ceiling.

I'm painting the closet door today, and touching up the spots where the hinges were, before the door was re-hung. And while I have the white paint handy, there's a spot on the ceiling I need to touch up, but I definitely wouldn't even try painting a whole ceiling. My name is not Michelangelo, and I don't have any scaffolding, just a rolling library stool. :giggle:

But, I just brought in the can of white paint, so I thought I'd let it warm up to room temp for a while, it got cold in the garage last night! Also warming up the house a tad, so I can put on my (short-sleeved) painting shirt. Don't want white paint on my favorite black sweater! :D

I took the handle off the broom, screwed it onto the roller and started rolling. Only real hard part is taking a step ladder around the room and cutting it into the walls so ceiling paint isnt all over the wall.

Andria going to touch up her ceiling? I hope it is not old paint. Won't match if it is.
Click to expand...

Apparently my husband already did it, I just learned. The paint isn't identical, but the spots to touch up were quite small, so who cares. The paint isn't identical to what's already on the doors and woodwork either, but eh, close enough. Apparently what's already there is more like semi-gloss than gloss, but hell, it looked glossy to me, so we bought gloss. *shrug* Close enough. The biggest problem is that apparently they used a color more like "eggshell" and we bought "white", so ours is a little brighter -- which is why I'm painting the entire outside of the door rather than just touching up the top that was sanded. I probably won't go to that extent when we touch up the dings on the bedroom door's woodwork; it won't be an exact match, but it'll look better than the color of the wood showing thru the dings as it is currently.

Ahh. good.
Ceiling white is a specific color.
Must be a few hundred shades of white out there.
Click to expand...

Yeah I discovered that when I was touching up dings on the windows' woodwork. I just touched up places where the wood was showing thru, on the pane dividers ("muntins"? I think they're called?), but on the broader stretches, I just went ahead and painted over those, so it would be more matching. They ended up looking pretty good, and the blinds are back up now anyway, so they won't be seen most of the time anyway -- and in front of the windows, there will be a) drapes, and b) a huge entertainment center with an old-style tube 27" TV, so again, they won't really be seen. But they do look better than before, with bits of wood showing thru the paint.

I'm done with the closet door, but waiting for it to dry enough for a 2nd coat at the top where it was sanded. I wanna get thru with paint on that side of the room before we hang the drapes. Which are here! The mate is gone up to my stepdad's house, helping him with a few manual labor tasks that my stepdad is no longer capable of doing on his own, with his various disabilities from his strokes. But at least now, with my mom gone, the closet door can be put back on since she doesn't have to get thru in a wheelchair, and the tall assembly on the toilet can be removed.

One of my previous jobs was to take various materials such as white and look at it under a black light to determine the undertones. A white could have a blue, yellow or pink undertone. Then I would order the rolls to be sent to cutting for 2 sided comforters.

I bought a gallon of country white which is more of a creamy color but when I tried it on my kitchin wall, it was way too white, so I am using that gallon on the bathroom ceiling. It looks good enough where I might repaint all the ceilings in that color.

Actually I do envy you; I would love to have our ceilings completely redone, WITHOUT the tacky plaster/styrofoam shit on them. apparently whoever renovated this house left all that, but the ceiling in my bathroom has been redone, and it's smooth; I really prefer that, but it would be a major undertaking to get rid of ALL that tacky plaster/styrofoam shit.

In point of fact, I'm severely allergic to gypsum, which is what plaster is made from, so I would love to have linen-fold wood paneling on the ceilings, but that would be not only a major undertaking, but a very expensive one.

Holy Mackerel, I just burned the SHIT outta my finger. Turned my Tugboat sideways, and hot juice streamed out the air holes and across my finger. Felt like a wasp sting! Left a serious blister. OW! fuckah... that was a first.

Naah 40 watts is my high end vape.
Usually 18-25.

I have 1 dual battery mod. A beast of a Disguiser with a squonk kit.
And I won it otherwise I would not have it.
Had to buy the squonk kit though.
Click to expand...

Yeah, that's about mine too.

I have a Boreas I keep on my desk at my office that hums best at 45 W, but that is it for me.

Even with just one bat, this new guy is kind of wide for my dainty lady fingers, lol

Also have gotten used to the juice bottle being on the end, not the middle of the mod :(

It is pretty though and the vape is nice.

As usual, the included atty is not very impressive. First included atty I built in forever. Thought I'd give it a shot though.

Yeh don't think I care much for the peek hole squonkers either. I like the edge ones with a cutout.

I will post a mini review when I get my Drip Box 2.

I'm better then 99% of other folks in the dept I was in today at the hospital, all of them had or where getting a colonoscopy and I was just in for an endoscopy..... Made sure the doctor wasn't putting the back door camera down my throat, but for meow I just wait for the biopsy results. Apparently my life long battle with heartburn/acid reflux has taken its toll on my esophagus.
