I managed to get a coat of paint on last night. So today was the second coat – I’m planning on painting three coats total. I’ve been putting them on thin, so they will dry nice and even. I do notice, however, that the paint…

These next few steps are the most time consuming, by far. Preparing for paint is a tough a job, …and it will really test your patients for sure. Now, I only say it is tough because I’m dealing with drywall that has been “tampered” with…

This is the first time I’ve done this – making a vegetable garden. I’m not a green-thumb by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I hate plants, …the only green-thumb thing I like is grass and lawn care. But I love vegetables, and I…
