I found an old half-gallon of some high quality ceiling paint that is also a primer. It starts out pink and dries white. So I used that and finished the ceiling and primed all the walls with it last nigth.
Assuming I don't have too much damage to fix, I'll be caulking today and probably painting up all the trim to finish. The wood putty worked great.
I didn't get any snow overnight, but 2/3rds of the front walkway needs to be re-shoveled. You can't even tell that I did it yesterday because of the snow drift.
Good luck at Mah Jong today Brenda.

Put my backer rod where it was needed and caulked all 10 tracks, the baseboard and the door on the inside of the pantry. Then I went out and shoveled all the drift off my walkway. There was a TON of it, and it was a lot heavier than yesterday. Good news is that despite all the snow there's like none on my house or garage roof.
Somehow the driveway didn't get much drift, so I'm not going to bother dusting it. I lucked out there, since I saw my next door neighbor re-shoveling his entire driveway which faces the same direction as my walkway this morning.
My plan is to get both final coats of the white enamel up on the baseboard, tracks and inside door frame of the pantry today. That's probably all I'll get to, but you never know... Sometimes when I finally get to the painting part of a job I get so excited about it that I end up staying up past midnight working on it.
I'm going to have some pictures of it before/after without any of the shelving in there. I know that Kiki has mentioned before when organizing she likes to have shelves up high and drawers down below.
I'm probably not going to be building full drawers or anything, but I am considering buying some drawer tracks and making pullout shelving for the bottom three shelves. Would like to know everyone's opinion on that when I get to that point.

Back from mah jong and my walk. I got first place today with a finish of over 5,000points.
But we got rain today though now at 2pm the sun is trying to break through the fog.

From where I'm sitting, Brenda, I'd call that a win too.

Final coat up on all the trim.
It looks so freakin' good painted after shaping the wood putty to make everything look pro.
Going on 7PM here... Think I'm going to call it a night on the work. 3 days of shoveling along with 3 days of spending a lot of time on my knees scraping, sanding and painting kinda beat me up.

Think I won about $6. There 9 of us playing today. Booby prize was $2. So, I would guess that 2nd place and 3rd got $4 each.
It was nice to see the try to break through the fog. But now at 8:30pm, the fog has settled in for the night.

Picked up "Die Hard" from my local library as I didn't see it over Christmas on YouTube.

It's so weird that Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie today. I must have seen that half a dozen times when I was a kid. I don't think I ever heard somebody calling it a Christmas movie until a few years ago on the internet, and now almost everyone says it's a Christmas movie.
$6. Yeah... when I play games I don't play for much money either.
But if there's nothing on the line at all it seems kind of pointless.

Would you say you caught up with your yearly snowfall, then?
