Filling Holes

Just to prove I continue to make progress, here are my stairs with the holes I filled yesterday.


I hope to get the treads medium-sanded tomorrow.  No excuse not to, even if I do get called in to work.

But here's something scary:  When I was cleaning up the dust on the stairs and bannister rail yesterday, I noticed I had cracks in my wall plaster at the point where the wall opens up to the downstairs hall and the downstairs ceiling comes in.  That place was really bad a year and a half ago, and I put a lot of work into pulling up the plaster and spackling the cracks.  Now I have this three-way hairline in the faux finish paint job.

Carp.  I don't know if it's the plaster or the spackle.  Either way, can't things just stay fixed?

I did a lot of filling on the plaster in my old house. It didn't stay 100% perfect, but I declared victory :-)

I just want the assurance that the hall ceiling isn't drooping again. :-(
