Got the saggy ceiling reattached.  Got a new piece of drywall in place where the fireplace used to be.  W did some scraping of popcorn in the kitchen.  I&#8217;ll do the living room once I have all the drywall firmly attached. So not this trip.  I ran out of the washer that keep the screws from pulling through.   <\/p>\n<p>I did a few smaller things as I took breaks during the day.  Treated the oil stains on the cheap leather chair I bought.  We&#8217;ll see today if it had any effect on the stains.  I also moved stuff around and put stuff away.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner was grilled steaks from 2024 and it was delicious.  Choice from Costco is almost as good as Prime from anywhere else.  It took longer than I expected for the beef shortage to show up in stores, but I&#8217;m glad I jumped the gun a bit and filled the freezers when I did.<\/p>\n<p>Today will be more cleanup of construction debris, maybe some brick work, and definitely some more smaller tasks from the list.   Always be working.<\/p>\n<p>And stacking.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And it will be both hot and humid today.
