Finished painting yesterday. All alone today, rain washed out outside stone work. Inside crew had funeral across the state. I cut around rug to remove tack boards and quartered rug for easier removal. Decided to leave it there overnight...raining now, I want to unroll it it dumpster dry and empty some old partial paint cans on it so they dry out quick...

polyurethaned all the trim wood that's going in there...then sat under the new awning burning one hitters. Awning overlaps garage for full patio coverage. (garage was built a few feet too close to house and original awning stopped at garage roof). I had it set up to unbolt and remove (series of bolts over there on I beam) to put a roof on garage around 2045...I won't be here, but I set up the future generation for easy maintenance because I'm cool.

Found and hopefully saved a baby pigeon that fell from the top of my silo, 60ft or so. It had a compound fracture so I had to put the bone back in and tape it up real good. It probably won't ever fly again but I don't mind more pets. I've already gotten it to eat from my hand and it's calmed down a lot since I first found it.

Does a bird like that need any kind of pain meds?

It could use some Meticam (0.5mg/ml about .15 ml), but meh. Once you've reduced the fx and stabilized it it doesn't hurt that much.

If it doesn't get infected it should be fine. It might fly depending on how well you reduced and stabilized the fx. You did what you could now you wait and feed it LOL

Good job 420god.

Edited to add dosage

Started with initial stone work today. Last week was all prep work... Starting on front porch, then working around the house. Jackhammered out old concrete steps to replace...but just building around the actual original front porch from 1959 upgrade...BEFORE:

Building walls up sides of patio, this isn't the primary entrance...the back patio/courtyard will be where it's happenin' for cookouts and getting hammered. Weekend off except for transporting stuff to dumpster from my place...I have gotten addicted to dumpsters now...

i scraped the popcorn ceiling off onto the carpet as planned, cut it into sections and removed it. worked like a dream. barely a drop of dust anywhere.

then i laid the floor. it was one of those peel and stick resilient vinyl floors. i do not trust those to stick for any amount of time, so i also troweled on glue and laid it over that. that was on tuesday. i am still waiting for the fucking glue to dry. every time i go in there to lacquer thinner any excess or squeezed-out glue, i get about 5 feet in then stand up to see how it looks. that's when i notice more squeeze out from where i was just kneeling and working.

hopefully it's dry by tomorrow.

We put in laminate wood floating floor in kitchen, dinning room, hallway to bathroom and den...there's a fuck of a lot to be said for not having to glue down flooring! And it looks like hard wood floor...because it kinda is...
