Another proposition
Nov. 15th, 2008 11:26 pmI could not take part in the Prop 8 protest in Baltimore today. I had a prior commitment to finishing up electrical rough-ins and some carpentry issues on a friend's house since he was getting all the drywall hung this afternoon. Add to that the fact that Jeff had to hang close to home due to potential work issues and being completely exhausted from the long week of stress and lots of extra hours and it just was not doable. I know, I know, bad gays, no marriage for us.
At least all the drywall is up. And the guys doing it? Well, they are from the "there's nothing that cant be fixed with spackling" school. Big gaps, crooked seams, lots of joints, holes around electrical boxes bigger than the eventual device covers, etc. *shudder* I am of the belief that the joints should be nice and tight, minimal in number and cutouts should be as close as possible. In other words, things should fit and look very good before taping and mudding that you could paint the walls as they are and not be offended by the look. In any case, my involvement is done until the dust literally settles and I mount all the devices and power everything up.
Tomorrow, Jeff has to, you guessed it, head into work. Weather permitting, I will catch up on outdoor stuff and car/truck maintenance. If not, there's no shortage of domestic stuff to do.
I need a vacation.
