Cut myself again, this time pretty close to the bone. It's just the very tip of my finger though, so it should be fine. I did get use my new (old) nail pullers though.
Just the tip? MmmmmQuote:

I was trying to cut the sleeve off some romex with a pocket knife. Due to some temporary mounting solutions, pulling the wire was moving my box, so I was doing it a dumb way. After I cut myself, I did it a better way.
There is a bright side and dark side to many things today.
I got to use my favorite chisel again, but jacked up the edge so now I have to spend who knows how long fixing it.
I got to use this awesome nail puller that I didn't even know what it was for up until last week.

I was trying to sawz-all through what I thought was a sideways nail and couldn't figure out what was taking so long. This was flush with the wood when I started cutting it. It wasn't until I pulled the board from the other side that I realized what I was dealing with. I used my favorite chisel to remove some wood to get purchase with nail puller. This son of a bitch was in the concrete, so still took a substantial amount of effort on my part. You can see why it was taking so long to cut through once I removed some surrounding wood.

I got rid of this stupid asshole arched doorway. Future generations living in this house will thank me greatly when it's time to move in. I'm considering getting rid of the arches in the other two doorways, but I may determine it it to not be worth the trouble.

Finally, I went to the liquor store to get some alcohol to treat my cut. I bought a mix pack of Mexican beer, which I NEVER do, but it was the cheapest mix-pack, and came home to discover this was one of the selections.

It tastes like Jehova-damn sawdust!!
Oh snap! This just in. After discussing with the wife how the open-ness of the new doorway is great, but now looks awkward compared to the other rounded doorways; we've determined that instead of eliminating the curves in the other doorways, it'd be far easier to just recreate the same rounded shape in the big doorway. "Easier" is a relative term here, and probably not even the correct word, since any drywall related repairs in this house are not "easy" in any real sense. If I'm already working on the difficult drywall for this doorway, might as well make some more dumb curves.
Next, is to determine what to do with the equally as ugly sconce light in the hallway. It is a scone for a reason, so it's going to stay a sconce. I had thrown around the idea of making an inlet (with dumbass matching curves) on the wall. While having my wife look up scone fixtures online to see if there were any she liked, she found several, but they were large. There isn't much room in the hallway as it is, BUT if I make a dumb inlet, I can put a prominent, decorative sconce inside the inlet. This will beautify the space, maintain the dumbass "character" of the house with the curves, and keep the sconce out of the way.
Good talk everyone. Thanks for helping us work through this situation.
Now, how do I want to go about this? You can see in the photos that the original builders just used a 45 degree 2'x4' and slapped a bunch of plaster in there. I think I'll pass on that technique. So the question is, buy a Universal Arch kit like so:

Or build my own and make it an arch instead of just rounded corners since the doorway is now about twice as wide.

Stupid asshole remodeling.
Say yes to the arch kit. You can get creative to save a few $$. but how much will that save labor and #$%^& time ?
Probably not that much. The biggest hassle will still be working around the drywall, which has lathe in the corners and is 6/8" thick. With as long as it takes me to do stuff though, and for only $20, it's probably worth it.
It warms my heart to see that the post whore thread is alive and well in my absence. :)
I hope all are doing well and enjoying what freedoms the Colorado government has allowed you to keep. California is a stupid place.
Was wondering if you'd ever come back.

Went to Home Depot because they sell the Universal Arch Kit for $19.99, but apparently only online. Guy at Home Depot kind of treated me like some asshole when he couldn't find it, and had apparently never even heard of the thin drywall stuff that flexes into a curve. I may order it, but I may also just try the template.

ice skated 68,000 pounds for 50 miles through Western Wyoming on Tuesday. Would have been more fun if not for all the scared drivers doing 25 mph in the fast lane.

Had an epic range day today in Georgia in preparation for the next few days hog hunts. Lots of 6.5 based rifles...super loud. 300blk and 308 rifles look like the ticket for hogs...hopefully we'll get more than last year.
That's ick....glad you made it thru safeQuote:
