What I've learned

Skim-coating ceilings is a little like finishing a song, or a set design, or a newspaper column, or anything else I have to create.

You're never really done, unless you just decide the darn thing is finished.

I could have found another seven or eight spots that could use more touching up tonight. But I decided enough is enough, and I'm satisfied. Paint goes up tomorrow, and the rest of the subfloor is out.

You just have to leave well enough alone sometimes.

Poor Jeff got food poisoning or some other massive stomach distress last night, so he's been very much out of commission all day. Here's to hoping he's back in the saddle tomorrow.
