Very nice, Scott. About time for me to refresh paint in the entire house too. I'll wind up doing it myself on the weekends because I get too aggravated by shoddy workmanship when I have to pay for it.

I hear you there, I'm lucky to have a great crew of subs that I've worked with for decades so when I pay at least I get it the way I want it

That's a great thing. I see some of my friends that hire painters and then my wife and I spend the entire ride home criticizing the crappy taping, spackling, masking, etc. And they paid what for that? Heeeeeeeeell no!

Ahh, I do my own taping and spackling so I guess that helps. Painters aren't tapers

My late father-in-law was a master in all of that. He's been gone for 15 years and the walls and ceilings in my m-i-l's place are still spectacular.

Morning Dean, thank you

We used a guy who spackled his entire life, he was unbelievable at it and I learned whatever I know from watching him. He never moved fast and next thing you know you'd look around and the whole place was taped

What libations do you serve for Thanksgiving? For a while was going with Beaujolais Nouveau, or
a sparkling white wine. may have to make a run soon, wife seems determined to drink all the good stuff
in the house, before any company arrives. Last week she opened a bottle of sparkling wine to go with leftovers,
and offered me some, since the bottle was open!

I'm not big on the bubbly. I might go with a dry rosé instead.

Not a bad choice, for the turkey course....
I hear that we are skipping the lasagna and soup courses this year, spent over a hundred at Corrado's for
hot sopressata, aged provolone, almond stuffed olives and proscuitto stuffed hot peppers. Got some olive salad,
marinated sliced mushrooms, and a green olive salad. so we will have a solid antipasto, before the turkey dinner.

We always skipped the "Italian" stuff for Thanksgiving. Already too much food with just the turkey and fixins.

I suspect part of the purchase is pumpkin-pie-with-whipped-cream flavored "beer".
