10 Things I've learned in the past Week:

1. Scraping that popcorn Stuff off of Ceilings is Fun.

2. It is better to set Fire to your House than to try and remove Wallpaper from your Walls.

3. Joint Compound takes far too long to dry.

4. Power Sanders are your Friend.

5. Texture painting is not for Perfectionists.

6. It is worth the extra Time to put another Coat of Primer on top of your wall Texture, even if it's a very thin Texture and you put Primer underneath It.

7. There's no such Thing as a Paint that only needs one coat.

8. Getting Chalk in your Eye from using a Chalkline *hurts*!

9. Removing Tape from latex Paint is an infuriating and evil Task.

10. Touch-up Work with a little Paintbrush is a good Job for a Perfectionist!
