My Best Friend Is Joint Compound

Jen said that to me the other day, and it sounded so much like the title of a blog post that I'm using it as the title of a blog post, even though I'm not going to write about joint compound. (It's great stuff, though. Conceals all manner of things. Gigantic holes in the ceiling? Gone!)

In the last few days we've been doing stuff that wasn't so photogenic. Priming walls--well, it looks better than unprimed walls, but there's a limited wow factor. Today, though, I got to do some tiling, and the result is the first thing that looks like it might someday be a finished product that someone might use.

Isn't it pretty? (The little red and white things are spacers, to keep the tiles even.)

If you squint, you can sort of imagine that it's a finished room. Which it better be pretty soon, because we've got (drum roll) tenants.
