evilgoddss: Sturdy walls are good (Sturdy Boy)
What's my Seduction Style? )

Okay, so Day 5 (that being Wednesday) was a wash. Went to the One of a Kind Show (as planned). Spent a ridiculous amount of money, but I'm not sure on what... I think some certain relatives of mine owe me. By the time I got home, my legs hurt. Shopping with my mother is more of a cardio workout that doing a 20K marathon. Seriously. Take the Christmas Challenge and go shopping with my mother. You'll ACHE -- but have all your Christmas shopping most thoroughly done.

Day 6
Tiling did not happen. Dammit! Instead, I worked to finishing the walls. Sing it with me: "A muddin' we will go. A muddin' we will go... high ho the dairy-o..." never mind. Never could carry a tune. So. Of course there was problems. I had to pick up some 5/8ths inch gypsum board for one of the walls. The walls went suddenly from 1/2" to 5/8" and that showed badly. So, out came what had been done, and in went the new. And then the mudding.

On the upside, I don't mind this part of the process. One the downside -- one more coat. But I have walls! Walls that can be tiled, after one more coat. And sanding. And a damp cloth wipe down. And the Red Guard... err.

Day 7
Finished mudding the walls. I have one small area that I have to address (the newest 5/8" board wall), but we cut and laid the magicboard for the tiles, and I'm ready to rock and roll tomorrow. Part of the slow-down was waiting for the mud to dry. And sanding, and applying, and waiting for the mud to try. I filled the void of time with Star Wars (IV, V). Depending on time, I may watch Return of the Jedi tomorrow.

What? I got nostalgic. Hankering for those long ago day of yore when I attended this nice little tiny five-room school house in the backwoods of civlization, and would run around the playground playing "Star Wars". Since I was the only girl with a gaggle of guys to play with, I was always Leia. Figures, don't it? However, if the books HAD been out, I'd have been torn between Mara Jade or Leia, 'cause Mara is cool.

I digress... tomorrow. Red guard painting of the walls (waterproofing system). Then tiling of floor. Then tiling of shower area. Then grouting, but first tiling of floor.

Almost there people.
