I woke early this a.m. and was looking forward to a day of rest and some cleaning. I called my friend who does wool with me and she asked ifI could help with the sheetrock, taping, spackling as their refinancing depends upon this bathroom being done.Well no, I didn't really want to but I went. They live on a mountain I can't drive up. He came to get me with the truck in four wheel drive with chains. I parked at a flat space 1/2 mile away. Anyway, it was really fun. I taped, and being such a tactile person I had my hands full of it. I spackled, I sanded, I hung sheet rock. It was really fun. We ran out of mud and sheet rock and the stores were all closed so at 7:30 they brought me to my car. I wish I didn't have to go do my job tomorrow as I would love to finish this bathroom. I think it would be cool if every few months we could switch jobs with someone for a few days. It felt good to make something. I am reminded that on friday I fought for drugs for a dying woman who died sat. I am so dismayed at that thing and it costs a lot emotionally for me. So, little miss lazy who did not want to go do this went and had a great time and I want to do it till it's finished. I am not too bad at taping either. Large gaps as it's not a straight house and it's a cape sort. So much fun.

How wonderful for you!!!! You stepped outside the box and found you enjoyed it! We all get into our daily routine and don't like to experience "change" but "change can be good!!! You got to help your friends out in the process and learned that you were good and at taping!!!

What a wonderful day for you!!!!

Really? You like doing this? This is great!

You might want to check out "Habitat for Humanity". It is a housing program that uses only volunteers to build the houses. You would be great for the interior work as all of the same has to be done. It is low cost housing funded by the government. All the work is done by people who volunteer their time and effort to make the house complete.

If you are interested you can do a search in google, or call your local City Hall for information on the office nearest you.

It is such a great cause!

Maybe I will do my bathroom. It needs paint and patching. This is a good thought for motivation. Thanks!

What a wonderful day! I like the idea of trading with someone for a day. You know what they say "A change is a sgood as a vacation"

What a wonderful idea to trade jobs with someone for a few days. I am not sure what type of job I would want to try for a few days, but the idea of doing something productive and to see the results is appealing. Creativity is so grand!! It sounds like you had a wonderful time, good for you WW.
(((((((WW))))))) big hugs to you!!
