I made up for all the time I spent relaxing on Saturday. I put in a good 12 hours today. I didn't get a whole lot done on the third floor though. I sanded one side of all the angles where the wall meets the angled part of the ceiling. I was also able to put the first coat of mud on all the corners except for about 3/4 of the guest bedroom.
The reason I didn't get a lot done on the third floor is because my brother Burt called. He needed me to fix his outside faucet. It froze and broke about 5 years ago. He is finishing the basement so he needed to fix it before he put the drywall up. It took a while to fix it because we had to make a run to the plumbing store. I only started a small fire in the wall. It was a little distressing when we figured out that all the water was shut off to the house. The fire went out without any help though so we were okay.
As I was leaving Burt's house I noticed his kitchen sink faucet handle was just sitting on the faucet. Someone had evidently lost the screw that held the handle on. I also noticed that his new faucet was sitting in the kitchen. Burt doesn't really enjoy doing plumbing so I figured I already had my plumbing stuff with me and it wouldn't take long. I didn't realize that he was going to have to make a run to my house to get some wrenches and a run to Edmonson's Plumbing to get some supply lines. It works fine now and he was pleased. My niece Laura was even nice to me when she figured out that I was fixing something for them.
Tomorrow I will be doing more mudding... surprise!!! I might play around a little bit with the tile in the bathroom as well. I would MUCH rather tile than mud!
