Thanks to the fancy multi-species pots at Buchheit, careless shoppers, and the brittle-stemmed habit of Tradescantia zebrina, I got a free plant. Three bits is enough as long as I don’t let it dry out!
I finally did it! The peach crap is gone, the vile 70s stuff is gone, and the gaudy blue and green vintage 1948 paper is gone. All of it. I started scraping this morning, and cleaned up the “tape and drywall compound over old paper” corner. While the corner dried, I kept scraping, and then, […]
I applied one coat this morning, and did other stuff while it was drying. Got Cliffie’s tank stand painted. Didn’t take a photo, but the bottom shelf for it is done, too. The finished product. I took off the tape after I took this picture, but meh. Anyway, it’s nice; I like The Wall lot […]

What do buttercrunch lettuce (presumably seeds), flowers, mealworms, and a wire brush for an angle grinder have in common? Me.
P thought of these all on his own! Italian crystal wine glasses, an electric wine bottle opener, and a wine chiller. I love them!
I got a couple of inexpensive brushes to rip the paint off the Pot From Hell… (The other one is “fine”. At least they got that right.)
I was too busy yesterday to write, but I got a lot accomplished! Taped off the bathroom around the sink, which was the last part that needed painting. Primed the rust stains on the wall, left when we moved the cabinet up, then put on one coat of paint, which took a while because of […]
