Getting the actual panel in wasn't too hard, I could prop it up over the shower and it was small enough to hold up while getting a few nails in.
The plastering was another matter. Took a while to figure out I need to make it less stiff and use more at a time.

Almost all the work was done wearing jockey shorts and socks.

I'd love to see a pic of you getting plastered in your underwear.

i'm not sure if that will link right, may take you to your own area.
i lived in Mn. for a long time, and 30° here feels like 0° there, the wind here is wet and cold, and you can feel it sucking the heat out of your body every time it blows. i'd rather deal with winter there, as long as you dress right, you're ok, here, it makes no difference what you wear, within an hour you're cold, and you aren't warming back up till you go inside. of course, winter here is about 2 months long, really...and about 4 in Mn...and the spring and fall are really just "winter lite".....so in reality, you have about 2 months of slush, 2 months of summer, 2 more months of slush, then 6 months of winter....fuck it, i'm moving to the equator

I lived in MN for 4 yrs in the early '80s. Native So Cal I had never seen snow fall from the sky. I adapted but never got over the early spring when all the snow melted and turned into literal shit soup from all the dog poop that had frozen when folks walked their dogs

I live in the country and have never pinned my dogs up, but when I visit my I'll walk the dogs a couple times a day, picking up warm dog shit is something I have had a hard time getting used to...... but I do anyway. I have a friend who owns a lawn care service and if his customers can't keep the shit picked up, he drops them. Lastly .... shit soup.... one more reason to not go north....j/s.

Remember that was almost 40 yrs ago, times have changed. I'd imagine that habits are diff now in terms of dog poop. I'm rural but in the towns I shop and frequent it's a code violation to leave dog poop, you must clean it up. One local town even has free plastic bag dispenser stations/dump cans along a favored jog/walk/doggy route

Well to be honest I didn't expect anyone to show up, and I stood the rock on its end. I do this stuff all the time and it's not that bad. I plan all my work and work my plan, so I don't have to struggle to much. It pissed me off that my project manager didn't have the materials delivered and stocked like I asked, so I had to handle the shit way more times than necessary. And yeah I was a little cranky after work.... just a little.
