Meditations and Popcorn

[kiya]

Okay, the hole in my wall is now actually a hole; I can see the laths. xiphias, do you have any handy advice on patching same? Kevin says we have plaster of paris, but I'm not sure that's the right stuff.

This time I split the heel of my hand -- only a little cut, really, but I think it was right over one of the veins in my wrist. I've got a bandage on it; it's stopped bleeding and such.

I . . . think . . . I may have gotten the drainage (see also styrofoam cups) dealt with so I'm not going to expire from emotional exhaustion anytime soon. I consider this an improvement. We'll see if we can get the plumbers in.

I have popcorn, too.

I didn't break the laths as far as I can tell. The hole is. . . a fingerlength wide, and a lath-width tall, with . . . dents to about another lath-width on either side.

I suspect the advantage of spackle over joint compound would be that we have spackle and plaster of paris but not joint compound. . . .

I think we can manage to fix it ourselves, but I'll let you know if we need help. Thanks tremendously for the offer and for the data.
