Ready to Paint

Bought drywall primer, paint sprayer - ready to go. Spent time at home with ShopVac (flashbacks galore) - it's still pretty dusty here. Likely will spend all day tomorrow vacuuming, replacing floor protection, covering windows, etc. Sprayer likely not on until Sunday.

Other key event today - Air conditioning working a little slow on the third floor - still 86 up here - been running a few hours. I poked my head in to check if the fan was running, and the machinery room smelled like gas. Couldn't find the leak, so turned off the gas at the meter, as well as the valve at the furnace... means I'm safe, but no hot shower in the morning... grr...

Staying at the house again - worked until 9:30, and about to start mapping again. I guess I'm back in the saddle.

PS - anybody around tomorrow to help me get the air compressor from storage? I couldn't handle it by myself today - need a hand... give me a call

PPS - here's one for ya... enter the garage to retrieve a frosty beverage, and the light comes on... which means when I opened the pedestrian door, I startled something large enough to break the infra-red safety beam when it scurried underneath the overhead door... mouse? lizard? or very, very large, 6- or 8-legged friend?? Regardless, that'll make you think twice about going for a beverage...
