One problem is we made the reservation before the Oswego Theatre Department set the date for the current 5 year picnic. Unfortunately, it will happen while we are on the island. It will be the first that Carol & I have missed since we started them back in the 70's.
As I mentioned, a lot is going on. I am in the middle of finishing a painting job in Scriba (don't ask!) and a couple of days ago our living room ceiling decided to crack & start to fall down. Kind of of exciting, but not the kind of excitement we really want. As the day went on, the crack, which runs along a sheet rock joint the full width of the room, got wider & wider. When it reached about one half an inch, I used a 2" X 2" & a piece of plywood to push it back in place. The good news is the crack went away; the bad -
1. The ceiling
went up about 2" when I pushed it up - I don't think the sheet rock nails
are doing much.
2. Called 5 carpenters / sheet rockers
and 1 said he might be able to look at it the week of the 15th, 1 is currently
booking work the 1st week of October & the other 3 never called back.
This is a job I really don't want to do myself - Above the ceiling is 6" of fiberglass, 3" of Vermiculite & 6" of Cellulose Insulation. The weight of all that combined with the recent high humidity over the past week is probably why it cracked in the first place, but I am not looking forward to getting all that & the sheet rock down. So, we will probably have a new 2" X 2" post in the middle of the living room for some time!
