The Work I Secretly Enjoy

It' s impressive to paint a whole wall, or to texture a ceiling, or lay a whole floor of tile. I like the dramatic results.

There are lots of little jobs that take up my time. They are delicate operations, like removing paint splatters from the woodwork.

More examples,.... Caulk, ..., shims,... spackle, .... a rasp,.... a level, ...a little spit,...

It takes too much time, and I have to switch tools too often. I go to admire my work, and it seems nothing has been accomplished.

It's the fiddle and twiddle and piddle that makes a room really look nice.

But SECRETLY, I love it. It absorbs me.
