So the weather has turned the corner into fall, finally, and the project upstairs is starting to look serious. I generated a massive cloud of dust this evening sanding the first coat of drywall mud and a couple piles of sawdust 'adjusting' the window frames to lay flush with the walls. Those of you who have seen our bedroom know about the low ceiling and the prominent skull-cracking protrusion at the corner of the hall. We always wondered what the pea-brain who remodeled the upstairs was thinking when he framed that particular feature. We still don't know, but I finally lopped that sucker off and blended the corner together like it should have been in the first place. Even if nothing else turns out the way Andrea envisions it (unlikely), this whole effort will be worth it just to be able to round the corner at night without ducking for fear of puncturing my noggin'.
I got the garden tilled on Saturday. Very proud of that.
And Iowa beat Illinois. Go Hawks! Actually, I kind of had mixed feeling going into that game (don't tell Luke), Iowa's been struggling and needed a win - and I am a Hawk fan after all - but it's been kind of fun to watch Illinois finally get on a win streak after going something like 2-30 in the last couple of years. It was a good game though, and I was glad to see Iowa get the win. Illinois plays Michigan next. Go Illini!

Go ILLINI! At least they're going to a bowl game, but it's too bad they lost to Iowa. :(
