They work great! <br /><br />Now we are just getting everything ready for our trip. <br /><br />I also got some soaker hoses and the azaleas are perking up. Sadly, I can't run our water long enough to really water anything consistently. It causes the water pump to seize up. So I have to do it 15 minutes at a time. Praying for rain..still!<br /><br />But thank you Lord that those brave firemen have almost won the battle out here. Keep them safe, dear Lord.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-80540713268030845762011-09-11T13:48:59.835-05:002011-09-11T13:48:59.835-05:00Can't wait to see you next week!

He said to get a pail of water and wet the sponge and squeeze till most of the water is out. Then softly go over your dry mud. Rinse sponge and repeat process till your seams are even and smooth. <br />RESULT NO DUST. We did a lot of remodels and that is the only way I do it now. Works great once you get the hang of it.<br />Every time I would have to do it, I thanked that unknown Contractor.<br />Ninananasknollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139961128588102280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-23770045515410224862011-09-10T08:20:48.805-05:002011-09-10T08:20:48.805-05:00Your fires are just so dreadful, Donna.
