So anyhow, I am running 240 50amp from the panel to the porch for the new hot tub, and it a dehydrated stooper I raise up, which lodges about a half inch of nail in my back.



I then stumble and well........ my small project has gotten bigger....

Barely tapped it, actually when we moved in that ac duct was leaking and it appears to have done some damage to the drywall, so it didn't take much.



I love patching the popcorn ceilings, it's so much fun!

If you paint the whole ceiling once it's fixed, don't spray it with latex paint, the popcorn **** will all fall off if it gets too wet. On the rare occasion I do a home, the bid includes scraping all that retro popcorn **** off, and shooting some nice knockdown or broquet instead.
