    There are actually a lot of small things around the house that have been over looked. My room was one of the first things that I worked on when I moved in. I got a bit sick of it and moved on. Due to some mechanical issues, the fence project is going to be a bit delayed. I went ahead and took advantage of the break in the action to get back to my room. I started with paint. This is easy, and quite satisfying.

    Just for kicks I turned the web cam toward my work so that people could watch. My first target was the chimney. It was white at some point. it was now sort of a gray I guess. That's what happens when black crud runs down and hits white paint.
