Afternoon Everyone!!

Oh, speaking of knees, mine is complaining again. Drove Grace to fill her up, my knee is screamin' now. I am short and can't reach the accelerator easy without tensing my whole leg. Freakin AAAAA it hurts. Gonna purchase one of those foot pedal extensions.... Or I will never be able to drive her.

Lordy.

Welcome Fayedoll, I have often wondered how poly works. Never done it myself, have often thought about living with 2 or more friends, like a commune kinda thing. If the right balance was struck it would be kinda nice to have nice folks around to share your life and home with. Kind of like 'The Waltons' I'm thinking. Or Little Women. Or some other sweet rated 'G' movie.

Swiss Family Robinson or something. A girl can dream can't she?

Well, am making roast for dinner, all the trimmings, a salad for me.

Not much interested in heavy food when spring hits. Tried that Greek yogurt, boy is THAT good!

Yuck, knee is throbbing, gotta go ice it.

later gators!!

Afternoon all, am exhasted and it's only 2pm. :confused: Where is everyone? Ms Star are you okay? Seems everyone is out of commission or out of sorts.

Okay, well, just stopped to say HEY! and wish you all well.

I need a frosty. To bad so sad Ms Bliss. No frosty for you today until you get Grace ready.

Okay, going back at it!

YAYYYYY!!

Mr Leonard has been soo super fabulous thru all this and putting up with me. :stillheart: . :)

It's good to see everyone getting better. I've been down with abscessed teeth. Thank goodness for antibiotics. Back to work tomorrow. Stay well.

Wonderful news Morning Star!! Now all you have to concentrate on is getting better!!

Whoo hoo!! You will be ship shape in no time!! :hangloose:

Hi Galahad, glad to read you are on the other side of tooth pain!

Cuddles, happy to see you!

I don't feel like the LonePoster now!! :rainbowAfro:

Been painting and trying to figure out how to get my insulation to stay on the ceiling without spending a fortune. Think I will have to spend a small fortune after all. ugh.

:canoworms:

Oh well, just gonna focus on the walls for now. That's doable.

Later gators!! :fastdraq:

Sweet Bliss...I'm trying to understand the difficulty in getting your insulation to stay on the ceiling...and I know you are probably giving me a look at this moment.."laughing".....the foam is easier and I'm not sure if it's less expensive or not but let me know...maybe I have some suggestions.

Thank you Sweet Salty Butch!

I will chat with you tomorrow okay? It's waaaay past my bedtime, need my beauty rest, hee hee, thank you for your offer of assistance (f)

:vigil: Nighty Night ya'll... I'll get the coffee started in the mornin'...

Hi everyone....late night drive by,,,,,

[COLOR="Magenta"]Good morning everyone! It was good to see a few more posts here at the Loft! Have a wonderful day!!![/COLOR]

Good morning all - I'm new to this thread. I've been 40 since January but have only recently come to accept it.

Mopsie, I'm over 50 and have yet come to terms with the fact that I'm not in my 20's...come to think of it...not sure I act like I am either.

Sweet, I don't know what type of insulation that you have, but you might consider using some cheap paneling under the insulation, to help keep the insulation up where it belongs. Mind you, then you are liable to have to figure out how to make that panelling look good, though.

It's Fry day !!!
 

Good Morning Lofters and Peekers!!

Thank you Nadeest, the artsy finishes are a no brainer for me, the hold it up part is what throws me. So here's what I'm gonna do until I can do it with something more sturdy.

1x2 along the indent over the windows

1x3 vertical length of the windows

2x3 across the intersection of the 2 strips vertically

now there is almost a 3 inch gap created.

now i will staple heavy canvas to stripping (8 ft), exact width of ceiling surface

lay the insulation inside canvas cavity,

attach ends of furring strips to 2x3 pieces

staple canvas to wood for leakage prevention

canvas is now giant painting waiting to happen!!!

I can do the same to the lower walls, etc. I think it will work. :blink:

The hard part is preventing the girls from using it as a jungle gym.

Note to self: trim their nails pronto.

Okay. Back to drilling holes in 1x3 pieces. Wish me :goodluck:

:koolaid: Back to Home Depot.....:blink:

Morningstar has been in the hospital the last couple of days with a staph infection in her bloodstream. She is doing better but can't get on the planet on the hospital WiFi.

Thank you for letting us know about M.Star. I hope she is out of the hospital and back on the mend.
