BTW, my high school out on Fiddler in the Roof as the school play. It was an ambitious undertaking and they did a fantastic job. I loved it and remember it vividly to this day.

You're welcome SIG.
I saw stage production of it years ago. It was being done by a local theater group and it was very good as well.

Just found Robert Blake died. I used to love watching "Baretta" when I was in high school.

Quote:This is the back end of the storm that passed thru. I haven't measured yet, but it looks like we accumulated another 1-1 2" of rain. But this apparently was a warm air mass, not a cold one, bc instead of being crisp and clear and breezy it's cloudy, dreary, still, and muggy.

Well the weather people did say that this river was heading for California instead of my way.
That's still not good for certain areas of the state to my understanding with all the snow coupled with rain comes massive melt and then flooding.

Worked on my friend's daughter's bedroom until 11:30PM.
Patched that entire run of wrecked ceiling on the one wall first, then I had to uninstall the bad ceiling fan, the vents and all the outlet covers. By the time I cut in everything I could cut without getting dust from the mud on it, I was able to sand the mud. Still a little wet in the deep spots, but nothing I haven't done before. Going to need a few mud touchups tomorrow.
Painted everything including the ceiling one coat. The ceiling won't need another coat, but the walls probably need two more. I'm covering some pretty dark colors with white and it's not very good paint. I'll cut in once and see how it looks. Might just need to cut in 2 more times and give it one more coat with the roller.
Looks great. I'm exhausted......

Well... Going to head back out there and hopefully wrap up painting today. Hopefully there's not too much mudding I still need to do.
I'll have to go back one more time to put all the vents and outlet covers back up. And I told my friend I'd pick up a new dimmer knob for the fan since the one he has in there is busted (We needed to turn the breaker off while I pulled the fan down because the switch wouldn't turn off when you pressed it in). I will probably attempt to put the new fan back up too, but those things are always a pain in the ass.
It will be nice having this done so quickly after they went on vacation and not having to worry about it. Promising I'd get this done was my Christmas present to her, so I'm glad she'll have a new room come back to when the vacation is over.

The rain arrived today and will be here for tomorrow most likely.

Finished the bedroom after two LONG days. Would have wrapped up at 9:30PM today, but it was daylight savings time.
Ceiling needed 2 coats and the walls needed 3 full coats. Next time I'm painting for somebody else, I'm not doing it unless they buy good paint.
Going to pick up that dimmer switch and a new coaxial cable cover and install them tomorrow, and maybe do the ceiling fan too. I left all my stuff over there. One part because I'm exhausted again and didn't want to bother tonight, and one part none of the neighbors there don't know me and I didn't want people seeing me bring a ton of stuff out to my car from his house at 10:30PM on a Sunday night.
Now I should have no problem getting my house straightened up before going back to Grams, and even be able to have my Dad come over on Friday. I thought I might have to cancel that until getting all this done so quickly.
