I'm about at the stage where I resent having to work on this thing every day. I can't believe how long it's taking. Tonight I stuck up another piece of grass matting on the ceiling (1 of 9 and one of the easy ones) then I switched gears.

I wanted to see SOMETHING that looked done so I stapled the lauhala to this one wall here. I also sawed a beautiful piece of bamboo to pieces for the corner edging. One thing I didn't bank on was having to remove all the interior cell walls from the bamboo to fit it onto the corner. I used a Roto Zip bit in a Dremel tool and it went pretty quickly. (whew!) Screwed the bamboo to the corner with pre-drilled 3-inch deck screws. Just 2, top & bottom. Please forget the white switch plate cover. I just put that on to protect the hole I had to cut out for the switch. I used a new razor for that. That's all for tonight. Homer sleep now...
