Many people go to church on Christmas Eve. Some wrap presents for under the tree. Here at the Loafkeeper mansion, we…sand walls. After all, it’s a day off from work, so better take advantage of it. I put some last bits of mud on the wall this morning before we left for errands, and this evening I sanded everything smooth and even.

There is a lot of dust in the basement. My snot looks like cottage cheese. I could possibly be an extra in a mime musical. My eyes are full of grit. But now everything is ready to be primed and painted!

Well, once the dust is cleaned up. From the basement. And the stairs. And the floor around the top of the stairs. And probably the whole house by tomorrow morning.
