Tore out a hunk of damaged sheetrock from the master suite we are remodelling, It covers an odd shaped corner that managed to get smashed moving stuff around. Cut and sized one patch for the corner area, sizing up the other side, cutting reinforcing boards to tie the patches into while I sand tape, and float the remaining product. I will be de-texturing this entire closet, using Kilz2 to hide the hunter green, and repaint in a grayish white paint that we got as a freebie. We need to massively lighten up the master vanity...
Today has already been, and is supposed to stay stormy. Might set up the Ensuite in the living room just to get the plumbing swapped over.
May set up the EZ Up in the back yard so I can cook outside. It is HOT, HUMID, and RAINY here right now. I do NOT want to introduce any added heat into the house... Am VERY seriously looking into converting our old deck into an outdoor kitchen space...
Checked out a free haul it away 1980s Palomino pop up camper that we ended up dragging back to a friends property. It's in shockingly good condition for its age, and free. No obvious rot, canvas in good shape, so big quandry presented. Inspect it as I get time to determine tear it apart, or fix it and use it... Too many choices!
Oh, and we threw a mess of penetrating oil at the leveling jacks. They move, but are crusty. Will try to get them freed up and moving well. Tear down and base a foamie off of it, or fix and use the pop up, I plan on using the leveling jacks so I don't roll out of bed...
Oddly enough, this leaves me with 2 pop ups. A 1980s Palomino, and a 96 Coleman Niagra. The Coleman has been mostly restored, and is slated to end up with a family member. It has a U dinette that won't work for me, and the family member has offered us a fair price for it... I keep resisting using a pop up due to heat and ground clearance issues. The Palomino is easier to mod to fix those problems for me than the Coleman...
Oh, and I managed to swap out the ensuite plumbing. I am literally ready to go with that
