> Texture a ceiling.

My friend helped me remodel my mother’s house back when i was in college. We textured the ceilings of all three floors. It felt like I couldn’t get out of bed! There’s no way I’d do that now.

Texturing ceilings is evil. It’s impossible to remove and you still see the seams after a few years.

I adore home made pasta. It does not compare to the dried stuff. So I bought a hand crank pasta machine. What a mess. It’s easier to roll it out and just cut with a knife. I guess if you where making pounds of the stuff at a time it would help.
