  • Removed gross drop ceiling installed in master bedroom at first of the year. Rerouted wiring for ceiling light/fan properly thru the attic. Installed 2x4 strapping, fresh 1/2" drywall, and scabbed in 12" of drywall to complete the wall to the ceiling that the original remodellers covered up with drop ceiling (previous owner)

    I’m so sick of mudding, and it still looks a bit bumpy / wavy but we love the added ceiling height. Just put the first coat of paint on the ceiling earlier this week. The black ceiling is moody/cozy and covers a multitude of mud sins. Heavily considering refinishing the hardwood floor with the room still mostly empty.

    Old houses are never square. Drywall tests the utter limits of my perfectionism. (Learned that hot mud isn’t so hot for finish work)

    Ditto on being tired… But things are starting to shape up. Good luck to everyone else with their projects. Not much else to do around here with single/negative temperature. Slow and steady wins the race!








  • From what I gather, past insulator discoveries allowed electron flow in three or two dimensions, but this new discovery only allows flow in one dimension. I think of it like plumbing, where you have a tee, and the water (electrons) travel through the pipe in three directions (dimensions). Restricting the flow of electrons allows for better focus/flow, which makes for more precise electronic engineering methods.

    An EE might be able to elaborate better than my crappy plumbing analogy.

    I have noticed a similar behavior on one of my machines recently. Usually it’s a video (or recently played Spotify song) that gets ‘stuck’ there. Have you tried opening a new instance of Firefox, playing a video, then lock the computer (win + L) to see if it- at the very least- changes/updates to the newly opened video?
