Since our house is almost entirely down hill from campus, a fairly quick way to get home would be to coast down on a bike. However, walking requires no additional equipment...although rain can make that option unpleasant. A new form that I enjoyed last week was taking a Razor scooter in to the office and then on the way home, just coasting along through the neighborhood to get home. For many of the hills riding the brake was required. Lots of fun.
And a big thanks to Mom and Dad and Kristin who were out last week and provided a ton of help with the painting projects.
My solution for popcorn ceiling worked out fairly well: scrape, re-apply mud to joints/nails as needed, roll texture paint (plain, not sanded) with a thick nap roller, then paint with ceiling white. Looks decent with minimal finish work.

So when do we get to see pictures of Casa de Showalter?
Posted by: Keith Casey at October 25, 2006 05:52 AMAfter seeing your careful and excellent work on your fixer-upper house first-hand last week (and the projects yet to be tackled), my admiration and respect go to both of you for an excellent example of "delayed gratification".
