Gotta get that shelf up so they have a place to relax.
Sorry. Logan as in Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
I know. I know.
Did you hear the news about Hugh's Wolverine?

Mowed the lawn first, then was going to sand down the corners that I re-mudded. Wasn't feeling it and decided to call it a half day and get a much needed nap.
Hasn't been bad since I woke up though. Got caught up on paperwork, sorted through the mail to get the recyclables out and just washed the dishes that had been piling up for longer than they had any right to. I wanted to get at least a little head start on the cleanup since I hadn't seen one of my friends since he got his new job and he might be coming by while I'm working on the porch after he's done with work on Wednesday.
IF I'm feeling it tomorrow, I'm going to sand those re-mudded spots, prime them, prime the boards I used for the shed repair up top, finish the insulation on the last porch wall in the shed while that's drying so I can get a coat of finish paint on the boards and then possibly start putting the insulation in the porch attic. It's not like I'm not going to be going back up there to work on some electric by spring, but I think I want to have the insulation work done before I put the final coat of paint in the ceiling just in case my moving around up there disturbs the ceiling tile. I don't think it will, but I don't want to chance it.
So I'm a little bit behind this week since I quit the day early, but I'm still hoping to get a first coat of paint on the porch walls on Thursday.

Yeah, I did.
It was a cute ad from Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. I do love that idea. From my understanding of the two characters, Deadpool has always really just drove Wolverine crazier than he already is. And I also would just love me some more Wolverine. So, I think that is a Deadpool movie I will enjoy.

Yeah. I LOVED the first Deadpool but never got around to watching the 2nd one. I've never even watched Logan, although that movie has been on my list of movies I want to watch. It's long been spoiled for me, so I like how they explained how Logan took place in 2029 and Deadpool 3 takes place "now", so it would be before Logan died.
I've only ever seen the first two X-Men movies. It was pretty thrilling to see when the first one came out since I'd been a X-Men fan from the comics and the cartoon when I was a kid, but I was already in college and had kind of outgrown superhero stuff by then. I never saw any X-Men stuff beyond the first 2 movies.
I'm psyched about the idea of Hugh doing Wolverine again in another Deadpool movie. I can't even imagine how psyched Ryan Reynolds is since he HATED how Deadpool was portrayed in Wolverine Origins when they were last in a movie together as those characters. No doubt there are going to be a few really good jokes at that movie's expense.
My only concern is that Disney owns the properties now. It seems that anything they touch gets ruined these days. I'm hoping they allow DP3 to maintain its R rating and they let Ryan Reynolds call all the shots like they did before.

Off to the porch to get some work done.
Feeling better today after a decent night of sleep. Hopefully I can get most of the insulation installed after the mudding and priming.

I tried watching the first Deadpool movie but really couldn't get into it, so I gave up on them.
Yeah, that was a good idea that they did. Last thing they want to do is turn off their audience.
I've seen all three of the X-Men movies. I got into X-Men and Wolverine when I was in high school though I had been collecting comics for a while by then. I started with the Mighty Thor.
I saw Wolverine: Origins too and wasn't pleased with what was done with Wolverine's character. I think I discussed the film on this board somewhere along the line. I hope they do.
Yeah, all we can do is hope that they let Ryan and Hugh call the shots on the movie.

What a gross day today turned out to be...
I had some extra mudding to do that I missed, so although I sanded down the 3 corners and the other spots, I had to wait for the new mud to dry, so I went in the shed and finished the insulation on the wall.
Then I went in the attic...
I forgot how bad it was up there. Filthy, filthy, filthy... And random crap boards all over the place spanning the joists haphazardly, some of them nailed down, some not. Some only 1/4" plywood that is in crap shape and I'd be afraid to even stand on in between the joists.
Ive thrown out three 5 gallon buckets worth of dust, raccoon crap, long dead mice and random junk I found up there, including bike pedals and brakes, shingles for a roof that doesn't exist anymore, some sort of belt for a car engine and other random crap.
Cool finds were some electrical boxes and connectors, and an ancient wood plane that just needs a blade.
After sweeping crap that I could reach from the existing boards, I would remove the old boards and install new stuff that I'd saved for this purpose. Fortunatley, the joists are exactly 16" on center, so I could cut old shelving down to 16", 32" and 48" inches and just bring it up with me and know that they'd fit. I'd then use my countersink bit to drill pilot holes and put wood screws in to fasten them down tight. I'm making 3 catwalks spanning the ceiling. Once that's done, I'll fill in with my existing insulation and then wait for it to go on sale again to buy the rest. It will be a breeze to install it once I get all the crap out.
Much needed shower time. I worked late tonight to make my 1st trip up there worth it. I hope to finish this job tomorrow. This is going to put me behind schedule a day or two, but it absolutely needs to be done. The good news is that nothing I've done up there has disturbed any of the ceiling tiles that I painted.
