Man, it's been a long time since I've had my second joint started before noon. Working life is putting a hell of a dent on my smoking time, but hey money and experience... I think that's why I got off my butt.

Moving my library and dining room into storage today so we can commence with replacing the flooring. Looking forward to having a pretty new floor, not looking forward to paying the installer.

I keep saying I'm going to tile my upstairs. It's currently carpet and I hate it. But the thought of closing my entire grow is off putting.

It is, my grow is in a 50/50 state right now. My flower side is being used for storage, I have zero light security on either side of the closet, and it has 4 plants that are going to need to flower soon, and some degree of light security.

The upstairs flooring will be the the event that causes my grow to go from version 3.XX to version 4.0, and it will involve removing the carpet from the floor beneath the grow shelf and replacing it with 100% leveled tile and some serious wall patching to replace all the places I've hung trellis netting, drying lines, mycoriza bags, hole configurations for 4 different lights. I look at it as an opportunity to start new. Still won't happen for at least a year, so I'll get to know this new strain I'm running in the meantime.

Four rebuilds in 12 years, that's one every three years either for shelf / airflow reconstruction, light security or new lights. It could be worse.

I would do the floor prep and levelling, let a pro do the tiling in living areas if I haven't done it before. That takes a big chunk out of costs.
Tile a section in a basement or garage yourself, learn how to get all the spacing and grouting right before you do a living quarters area.
I'd still hire someone for a big job, small areas I can do.

I usually have to tuck someone in after NYE & July 4 fireworks and storms, Miss Snarly just stays glued to you, or climbs in the bed.
Poor little girl, least favorite night of the year.
She hears people in the village drinking and shooting boat flares, fireworks whatever in their driveways, just turns to jello from stress.

Try some doggy CBD, I've heard it helps.

TGIF and New Years Eve.....wow.

Is everyone's local newspaper doing the same as mine? They didn't print a paper on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or today...Not even sure about tomorrow. They claim you can read it on-line, but only about 3 pages worth. I read it online daily now anyways, but it sure looks like the end is inevitable for newspapers! I actually miss the daily hard print paper of olden days.

I was relieved this morning....My mortgage payment showed up. The guy has been early every month so far, but i got a notice last week one of the insurance policies is being cancelled for non payment, and then MY mortgage payment didn't show....I was getting a bit nervous, especially since my other deal just bit the dust.

My friends are supposed to be leaving for New Orleans today to go on the cruise I was supposed to go on, out of New Orleans. I just read the CDC has the highest level of warning telling people NOT to get on a cruise ship right now, so I am glad I'm not going...But also bummed!


I love this one...They do have nice stuff. I had never heard of them before.

I've done two bathroom floors and three shower walls. When it comes time to redo the kitchen I'm hiring someone, it's not huge but it will be involved because I know the floor will need to be sanded to remove the existing tile mud and get to the slab. At that point I might as well pay them to put the floor in too.

The floors I did were upstairs were small, less than 40sq feet and involved replacing the subfloor anyway, so I just cut out of the old stuff and threw it away. This floor we're doing in the next month, starting today, is going to be tongue and groove laminate. I could do it myself, but it's almost 700 square feet and I would rather just prep everything and then pay someone to lay it correctly. I'll demolish everything and make it easy for them, then I can replace the floorboards and do the drywall/painting when they're done.

The grow closet I'll do myself because it's only 10 sq feet, but I'll probably spend a whole month figuring out exactly what I'm going to do for the floor and closet doors to replace what's there. Airflow and light bleed are my two biggest problems working in a cloest that's 2' X 5'.

Same, its one thing to do a small room or closet, but transitioning large spaces to hallways, thru doorframes and door sills, and not make mistakes is worth the money.
