I guess I’m a plasterer now….

Well…only did two hours on the cupboards this morning since my thumb is howling at me and my back is not much better…but, I did get the upper cupboard cleaned up and ready for plastering…and I got the bottom part of it plastered and I can say I’m a plasterer now…it came out so much better than I expected that all I have to do is run the sander over it lightly to knock down the ridges…it is new for me to plaster since I can’t remember ever doing it before and you have to go really fast since you only have about 6 minutes until it sets…so, I hauled butt and got it done and even got my paint pan cleaned up before it set so now I know the method I need to use and I should get better at it as I go along….I think this cupboard is going to look much better than I had any reason to expect with how bad it was…but going so fast using my thumb to hold the putty knife has really hurt it and I know I need to take something for it…but, I’ll have the whole interior of that one done tomorrow and I can get going on the exterior Saturday….crap, even my right forearm and elbow hurt now…ow….
