What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

The contractor came over, looked at the wall, removed the bubbles (scraped away the damaged material), and put in new waterproof stuff. He now thinks that the problem is the damp stone walls, which is a known problem with stone houses. Unfortunately, the stuff he put in has cracked. We'll tell him, and he can deal with it. He seems much more subdued than previously. I wonder if he closed the business because of health problems. Once the wall no longer has problems, we will hopefully be ready to paint it. We are working out exactly which paint to get.

In other news, I'm having fun painting birthday cards. They are simple, but I think it is good for me to work on a variety of art, including art that isn't all that detailed or complicated.
