More drywall pasting and some other stuff
Oct. 25th, 2023 08:29 pmI've got the drywall pasting in the book room project down to finish work. I'm not quite to "ready to paint" but I'm getting there. Maybe painting this weekend. Definitely it doesn't look horrific and demolition-y anymore, so that's good.
I am trying out laundry detergent sheets. I have been seeing ads for laundry detergent sheets but on click-through they were all effing subscription services and seriously fuck that noise. I cannot be arsed to subscribe. But I kind of liked the idea of laundry detergent sheets -- less waste, no huge plastic jug, can't spill a sheet, pre-fucking measured -- and I made a note to try the damn things when I found ones that did not require me to subscribe to anything. HeySunday (US company) will sell you their laundry detergent sheets without making you subscribe to anything. They have a subscription and it's totes cheaper if you DO subscribe, but you can still buy the damn sheets without subscribing. Right, then. Laundry detergent sheets are a go.
I'm still evaluating cleaning power (normally dirty clothes from my job work OK but I haven't tried super filthy stuff yet) and I bought the "plain" flavor because I hate perfume in my damn laundry soap. The plain flavor is not 100% scentless but it's pretty close and does not persist on the clothing. The sheets dissolve beautifully on contact with water. I am VERY IMPRESSED with the dissolvability situation, which was one of the things I was worried about. I'm going to wash the saddle pads this weekend and see how the sheets perform, but barring any complete failure, I'm sold on this shit. Packaging is minimal and made of paper. I did decant my laundry sheets into a quart ziplock freezer bag because the humidity in my house is no freaking joke in the summer and I didn't want them to melt on a shelf or something. So, if you are kind of fence-sitting about the laundry detergent sheet issue, the HeySunday look pretty good and you might want to give 'em a no-subscription-required whirl to see if they could work for you.
Gonna try growing my mint inside over the winter. We'll see how that goes. It might be all leggy and a shitshow of failure, one never knows. It's a low-cost experiment because mint is fairly robust and can totally lose a hunk of root/plant without worry. I am reusing a pot and some not-expensive potting medium I had on hand, this was not a "buy fancy things" project.
