The contractor came by and wrote all over the walls. He was marking all of the places he wanted another coat of plaster. They came back. They plastered and sanded all of the places Chuck had marked.

See how wide the roller is? The pan is wide and deep to accommodate it. It is lined with plastic, easy to change colors, easy to clean up. Especially since the water is now turned off.

In other news… the siding guys came and finished the garage door. And they finished a little piece they had missed that was really driving me crazy.
