"I Love the smell of napalm in the morning..."

"... It smells like ... victory."

The two big burns in the Dining Room mantle have been filled. The filler has quite a strong odor and I think it's making me go loopy. Perhaps I can use it as an excuse for all the spelling mistakes and poor grammar on the blog. Better living through chemicals and all that...

All the other woodwork prep is nearly done. That's thousands of feet of tape; thousands of square feet of rosin paper; hundreds of pounds of mud (and resulting dust from the sanding); and several cases of painters caulk.

It sounds like woodwork painting will begin tomorrow.

Once that's done the amateurs (me) can begin on the walls.

So I can't quite smell victory.

Yet.
