More productivity

In spite of my body and minds fatigue from last night, Danny and I started plunging on with the renov by 8am. I primed and double gloss-coated 114 feet of crown molding over the morning, and we both did the first tape coat and mudding of the rest of the drywall. Having multiple fans on "high" helps this process along quite a bit.

About 11:15, I was totally exhausted, and lay down for about two seconds, when the a-fib kicked in, or at least something like it. Ack! Popped the usual pills and went to sit in the living room while Danny was installing another speaker conduit box downstairs. He was concerned when he came up, but this one only last about 15 minutes...must be from the fatigue. Danny said my pulse was normal-ish.

Started doing dead-vegetation cleanup from the terraces since it's a wonderfully sunny 60 degrees, but opted to come in and do the LJ thing instead! :-)

By 5, Danny and I had the second mud on the drywall, waiting for it to dry. We're done for the day. Too bad we're not getting paid by the hour to do this.

We did decide that instead of reupholstering all the downstairs furniture (Jim #1's pleather double recliner sofa, and our old 14-foot sectional/sleeper with double recliners), we're just going to get rid of it all and buy new. Oh boy! More shopping! :-)
