Wasted Day

Rubbish day.

Needed to do some sanding and the sander promptly died on me. Second sander this year to die on me. Although...it did do a lot of drywall sanding in the last few days and hasn't sounded exactly great. Not sure what's broken with it though as the motor is still working but there is a huge amount of sparks coming from the bushes in the motor.

Trouble is that whilst I had the thing apart and was watching the motor run and bushes spark, I didn't really want to touch much as I do have a habit of electrocuting myself on a regular basis. Wife gets annoyed when I electrocute myself.

Ended up buying a cheap sander to get me to the end of this project. Once it's dead (won't take long) I'll get a decent sander to replace it.

But did manage to paint some ceilings, the Killz paint killed the stains for about 10 minutes. Might need a second go at that. Would have done the kitchen ceiling but couldn't find any dust sheets, got enough crap on the tile floor without adding a bunch of paint spots as well. (Rest of the house doesn't matter as it's old carpet that will either come up, or make a soft layer for whatever we eventually put over it.)

Ended the day early in disgust with my complete lack of progress.

With the wife finishing taxes, dinner was Whataburger :)
