What did you accomplish today?

Try building a hogan starting at sun-up and having to finish it before the sun goes down.

I've done it three times in my life and nearly died every time. :p

edit: I participated with lots of other people. There were thirty to forty people involved each time.

What is 'building a hogan', Alex??

There are three types of hogans (Navajo Dwellings)

The female hogan which represents the universe. The door always faces east to greet the sun. Healing ceremonies are performed here. It used to be the winter home of Navajo families.

The male hogan is a purification building. It is usually cone shaped and acts as a sweat lodge. It is used to purify individuals before important ceremonies.

The summer hogan. It usually has a roof but no walls. It allows the air to enter and help cool the dwelling.

The summer hogan has pretty much become extinct with the advent of modern homes and air conditioning but the male and female hogans are still used ritually.
 
Well, another day another dollar. Got the rest of my baseboards painted last night. Was up til 1am painting the doors. Almost done painting the doors. Just 1 more coat on the backside left now. Them unprimed doors really soak up the paint. Good call on getting an extra gallon. All I got left to do is wipe the drywall dust off the walls and start painting them. 3 windows and 2 doors to cut in. Fuck, I think I need some motivation. bongsmilie

You should post some pics when you're close to done or finished, I'd like to see. My brother just did the same thing in his house for his new baby girl.:)

Fo' sure. I always forget to get a "before" picture. Except when I did my kitchen. That I remembered. The only goddamn thing I haven't painted in this house is the living room. And hopefully I never will. :-)

Amazing what new paint can do to brighten up a room. That lamanet flooring really brings things together too.:clap:

Could have been much worse I guess, but my plants look like they ran into a spider on mescaline with all the twine I needed to tie them up, 3 broken branches with no possibility of revival I'm afraid

Glad it wasn't a total loss, broken branches are a bummer. Hope you don't get much more bad weather before they finish.
 
Well I got my 2nd coat on the walls that were ready and finished painting the doors. Feeling pretty accomplished. I'll finish sanding and cleaning the other walls tomorrow. Maybe finish painting on Wednesday. Think I'll reward myself with some sleep. After I puff down and waste some more time on here of course. :grin:
