On day 2 (Wednesday), maintenance didn't turn up until about 2:30. After they put the mud up, it evened out the ceiling and I had faith it would turn out better. G did say what was supposed to be a 2 day job might end up being a 4 day job depending on how the ceiling looked once the mud dried

But when G showed up just after 9 yesterday, he finished the ceiling. It took 3 days, but it looks pretty darn good. Unfortunately, as the paint started to dry on the ceiling yesterday afternoon, it exposed a light orange stain over the area where I had wanted the sheetrock to be replaced, but wasn't. I think it just needs another coat of paint. Hopefully this doesn't turn into another ongoing issue, because I'll probably just ignore it at this point.

He didn't paint the whole bathroom. That's how maintenance around here is done. So, there is about a 4" border of fresh paint around the top of the bathroom wall now. The last time the walls were painted was 7 years ago before we moved in, and my husband smokes in the BR so the walls are a totally different color. G did leave me a couple of gallons of paint so we can paint the rest of the BR to match if we want tho… that will mean I will be painting. My husband doesn't do those kind of things. The BR is tiny, but it will take me a couple of days to do that.

I never had to run out anywhere to use the restroom, which was a major concern

This whole project is basically over, and I'm very happy about that. One less thing to worry about, one less thing for my husband to freak out about. As far as painting, I'm in no rush. My arms are sore enough right now just from taking down and putting up the shower curtain repeatedly.
I should just put the painting off until I'm manic again. That happens often enough…
