I am going to go through SO MUCH plastic sheeting and masking tape. See, between the cats and mess and my own sensibilities, I can't leave the plastic down after every session. And I also wrap everything after applying stripper. SO MUCH PLASTIC. Dollar stores are my friend.

Old Spice voicemail greeting generator:
Aaaand I have a new voicemail greeting. It doesn't sound great since I had to record it from my speakers, but I hope it will do the trick.
Ugh. It's 85 and humid inside my apartment and outside. And the power went off for about an hour. I was afraid the power would stay off and I wouldn't be able to sleep without my fans, but the power just came back.
Ceiling fans rock.
I really want to know what this house looked like when it was first sold. I want to know what the old kitchen was like. Did it have a radiator like some do now? Was it just stairs to the back? What were the colors?
sara, I don't suppose you can roll it up and stick it in a closet after every session? Somewhere away from the cats? Seems like an awful lot of waste.

How do I get it from my computer to my phone?
Ugh. It's 85 and humid inside my apartment and outside. And the power went off for about an hour.
I hope that wasn't my fault. Sitting on the deck is a huge relaxer for me, but even after 7 or so, it was still beastly hot, so I was sitting right in front of the screen door with the A/C inside going full blast.
It gets smeared with lead-painty goo, it is thin plastic and the effing masking tape adheres to everything when I pull it up. I toyed with just wiping up the paint debris, but it smeared everywhere. I don't want bits landing on my floors or elsewhere and stripping where I don't want. Short of doing it in one go, I am going to have to be wasteful (and frankly would be anyway with multiple applications with time in between.) Very least, I just cut pieces to cover the area I am working (and have bigger covers I use for stuff not under the peeling, but can pick stray bits off of.)
And really, I am creating all sorts of toxic yuck, even with this being an enviro-nice stripper (in neuters itself, but still, lead paint.)
Yeah, that sounds like quite a challenge. I wonder if Smonster has tips, since she does all of that NOLA rebuilding stuff.
sarameg, are you using this? [link]
How do I get it from my computer to my phone?
When the lady told me to record my greeting at the tone, I held the phone up to my computer speakers and played the message. It doesn't sound awesome, like I said. I don't know if there's a better way. Probably not for my low-tech phone, at least.
