The time it takes

It took about 2-1/2 hours to do this: install the flall (flooring on the wall) on the longest wall of the basement.

It took about a half hour to do this: install a ridiculously shaped set of patches on the stairway ceiling. Don't ask how the holes got this way.

It took about 12 minutes in the shower before my fingers puckered up enough to get the errant liquid nails to rub off.
