JC I had to laugh at the school gym being like a dungeon! those are the worst places to take pictures.

Beer, music, and steampunk! I like it Jon.

It's actually sunny today. Good thing, there's been some serious flooding in small towns in some outlying areas.

Ray besides snow your state also hss some darn good curling. That was what I watched the most in the Olympics.

It never stopped raining yesterday.
Now the sky is blue with puffy white clouds and sunshine.

Beer with a side of toxicology, steampunk and music

My buddies' brewery had a hit in the local paper yesterday.

And you got some ink as the "Mentor".

Indeed. My cash involvement is small, but I will be getting 10 gallons of beer going tomorrow for a festival, and I'll be there tonight with my hands on a jackhammer

Gary has been inspired ... he is now looking at wine making kits on Amazon.

 

[JonA_CT]

I might skip Amazon for that purchase.

Check out morewine.com . I don't know a lot about wine making, but I love their sister site morebeer for my supplies. Fair prices and quick shipping.

Again I am awake at a time when I really really should sleep. Not good.

 

[davidharmier60]

Just had spaghetti.

Morning, hosers! At last, the weather has returned to normal around here - temps have fallen way back, the skies have cleared and it's sunny and chilly. Very lovely for end of February.

In other news, we've begun painting our master bathroom. It has high ceilings and weird angled corners, making it a PITA to drag ladders around. We were able to snake the tallest one in through the shower stall, but it's obvious we'll have to use all our contortion skills to get this thing done! The hubby is insisting we prime the walls first, too, so it's taking twice as long.

Unless the walls are particularly contaminated (e.g.: You're smokers), the existing paint is badly-degraded or you're trying to paint-over a colour that bleeds-through the new colour, priming should not be necessary.

JMHO.

Cortian pretty much covered it. As a compromise have you looked at these Shop Valspar Signature Eggshell Latex Interior Paint and Primer in One (Actual Net Contents: 124-fl oz) at Lowes.com we've had good success with them, and eliminates the prime part, unless you need Kilz. Also, don't know if you have a Harbor Freight store around, but I bought one of these, 17 Ft. Type IA Multi-Task Ladder I can truthfully say that it is the handiest ladder i've ever used.

Gary thinks that in a wet environment like a bathroom, the more sealants the better. But Gary also wears a belt with suspenders. JC has a lot of expertise in this area. (Personally, Gary wouldn't prime, but Gary is lazy.)
