A snag or two along the way ...

Can anyone engage in a project of this size without there being a snag (or two) along the way? Below was one little snag, or should I say a place where someone got "stuck in the mud" ....











AAA could have easily been called, but the testosterone was in full force, so there was no talking the guys into calling anyone ... they were gunna do it themselves ... and to their credit, they did ... :))

Another slight snag was waiting for the mud to dry (on the walls not the car) :)). The 30-minute mud was purchased, but it was setting up so fast that water was added, which caused it to take a LOT longer to dry. This put waiting mode into Sunday morning before the last coat of mud was sanded and ready to be painted for the bedroom. Not to mention bookshelves needing to be put in, floors needing to be cleaned (big time!), a mirror needing hung, furniture needing put back in place, & cleaning, cleaning, cleaning needing to happen ...

At 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning, Chris, David, and Joy found themselves haggardly looking around at sheetrock debris, equipment, supplies, mud all over the living room, a master bedroom that had the looks of a tornado invasion, and hazy sheetrock dust hanging in the air. It is not an understatement to say it was a huge mess. Was this project was really going to get done in time???
