I really e...Cathy, I'm really excited for you! I really enjoyed keeping bees, and it's a fascinating experience. I wish you all the best with it. I know you'll do well!<br /><br />So far we're just getting the tape embedded, so I still have at least one more coat of mud before we start thinking we're getting somewhere. I am going to work on corners tomorrow, I think. I am kinda, sorta dreading the ceiling/wall corners because of the ladder and all, but I agree - I think even the corners where a wall meets a wall will be a challenge. <br /><br />I know you will come up with a prudent, practical budget. Still, I will keep you in my prayers!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480853709492521200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-67370821188045085362013-03-30T17:51:42.445-06:002013-03-30T17:51:42.445-06:00I find taping the ceilings hard on the arm muscles...I find taping the ceilings hard on the arm muscles. However, I find taping the corners is very difficult. It isn't one of my favorite tasks.<br /><br />Speaking of fun tasks, I picked up 2 packages of bees today and introduced them to their new hives. They are busy just buzzing away in there this evening. I made sure to put lots of sugar water and pollen patties in the hives so they can start producing wax and getting acquainted with their new surroundings. I hope it goes well! I remember you tended bees a few years ago and I was always fascinated. Wish me luck!<br /><br />I'm about to do some serious budget crunching tomorrow to see where I am. Apparently, my employer is having some hard times and has told us we need to take 8 furlough days between now and June 30th. I hope that is not a sign of things to come...<br />Cathynoreply@blogger.com
