I’m still in the “clueless newbie” stage of development in doing this blogging thing. I have to ask DH to fix up/install all the technical stuff, and then I tinker around with templates and things and have to yell for help if I can’t revert to something that works.

Yep, next time we mask the ceiling with tape at least as wide as the paint roller.
The hardwood floor project in the third bedroom, formerly known as the Tiny Room Full O’ Spackle, is nearly done. All it needs is a bit of cutting on the remaining few boards, and then time to buy and stain molding. I was planning on getting a miter saw to do the angle cuts, since we’ll need it later for crown molding downstairs. However, the DeWalt 12″ compound miter saw I was going to get for free may not be for free. It looks like it’s been removed from the catalog from the incentive outfit I belong to from work. AUGH!
Strike that about no catastrophes. I just lost everything I wrote. Note to self: don’t hit the “back” button on a web-based blog update, dummy.
