I talked briefly with my friend Danou today. He was getting ready to have a big BBQ for the guys that work for him and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like Greenland isn’t much bigger than Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I painted the newly remodeled shower today. I worked on it for about seven hours. It’s a long process to do right. Started out by sanding down the sheetrock mud. That was a long and messy job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I needed to shoot this exposed pipe with chrome colored Rustoleum spray paint. Since I had to spray it, that meant that I had to mask off all the areas around it. I found garbage bags worked pretty well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prep work of masking everything off is really time consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After doing all the sanding and masking off, the next job is to “cut it in” which means painting around the corners where the roller can’t go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last step is using the big roller to fill in the gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a hard job. Very intricate. Plus the new paint was almost exactly the color of the old paint, so it was hard to tell what was painted and what wasn’t. Same for when I did the white trim around the window and door frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then it’s time for touching up the little mistakes here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gave it a second coat to make sure I’d covered it all well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The door frame is pretty hard too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still need to do the final clean up. I think I have everything to set up the shower now too. That’ll be a tomorrow job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got an emergency message from the manager at Azalea Place. Of course I let her use the Mission. We can always meet outside. Looks pretty mild next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be at a Global Missions Conference at Roopville Road BC all next weekend. They’re usually fun, but I hate being away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just keep going. Apparently, I’ve hit a maximum amount of people I follow. I usually like to follow the best players, or if someone follows me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
