OSF Newport Ceiling Tile Repairs 2-19-2010

This afternoon was a lesson in humility. I had hoped someone else would have done this menial task before today. I had no such luck, So I ended up having to scrape all the old mortar off the old tiles as I need to reuse them because you can’t buy new ones to match the 35 year old tiles. So this is what I did for FOUR hours, thankfully I had my MP3 player on hand. Thank God for the inventor of the MP3 player.

As I was leaving for the day my GM told me he had someone try to scrape the old mortar off but that person couldn’t get any off and was afraid of breaking the tile so they stopped. They either picked one of the few tiles that had “real” mortar or they were just a sissy. Normally a crappy job like this would have ruined my day, but for some reason I was able to take it in stride and just do it, someone had to.
