So, I'm doing the Venetian Plaster on my fireplace frantically, trying to get it done so Jonathan and I can build the mantle when I go to Utah this week. The instruction booklet has a nicely manicured lady
just smoooooothing the stuff onto the wall. Guess what? IT's A LIE! Gaaaah.
Plus Jon sez he misread his Promised Valley performance schedule and has to be on stage every night this week-- very little time for woodworking.
Frances's rules of remodeling: It costs twice as much, takes twice as long, and is twice as hard as you think it will.
