Deja Vous Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 tonight I helped sand a small section of drywall.. and I am WHITE for once .. lol.. No sunblock needed.. lol Anyhow.. the best part is... when I got hom I was covered of course in the white powder stuff, and I really needed a shower.. My water heater is not working.. lol.. Nothing like a cold shower... oh man it was so darn cold. I think the hair on my arms stood up and is still standing.. lol.. Probably will be until it sees the sun again.. lol. But it was fun, and the night was well spent with a sweet person.. I didn't do a world class job, I am not a contractor, but thanks Dad for teaching me so many skills. He had a 24 unit apartment and several houses in Redondo Beach when I was about 12 after he sold the farm and moved west. So, in the summers I had a job.. lol.. Spending my time with him was all that counted back then, and what I learned was a just a simple bonus. BRRRR.. Okay.. turning my heat up.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Lizard Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The white stuff, I take it you don't sniff...As for the water heater, pay some one to change it...As for cold shower well just shower with a friend... Get done in half the time... Texas Lizard I have been there and done that dry wall sanding...I learned one thing it don't matter how well you cover it or block doors...It will get to everything...Some times a big fan pulling the dust out a window will help some...

Grizzly Dave Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I hate dry wall, and I suck at it, I proved to myself I could do a good job, once, but I am not patient enough to do a good job at it, much easier to hire it done. Don't know how many times I've convinced myself that texture and paint will "cover that" and been proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
