A little wall repair

About a year ago, when my home improvement shopping exceeded the rate at which I worked on Actual home improvement, I bought a box of pre-mixed joint compound, and proceeded to use, well, about a cup of it fixing spots around the cutouts from our wiring updates.

I am quite pleased to report that after a full year of sitting on the shelf, it's just as good as new, unlike that evil Thinset.

This is such a handy thing to just have around. Every day after work, I can just scoop a little out of the box, and swipe another coat over the former trim section needing repair. It's not an involved, complicated process - just 10 or 15 minutes a day.

Even I can manage that during the work week.
