After that's done, I need to paint one more room.

Why am I painting those two rooms, you might ask?

Last year I had to bring the electrical system in my warehouse up to code.
Most of the attic is inaccessible, because it's really low, so a number of the walls needed sections cut out of them, horizontally, to run the new wiring.
There were a number of holes made in the ceiling as well, that I've patched up, because I had the electricians move a number of Ceiling Light Fixtures to different locations on the ceilings, or just remove, because there were too many of them in some of the rooms.
The original builder went overboard in some of the rooms with the # of light fixtures.

After putting the Sheetrock sections back in the wall, I covered the seams with joint tape and Spackle.
I could just leave it like that, but the Spackle really needs a nice coating of paint on it, to seal it up.

I could just paint over the Spackled parts, but I figure that I might as well do the whole room(s), while I have the opportunity to get it done, since they are currently empty.

Ugh, drywall work blows. I feel your pain on that one. Best of luck getting it all patched up.

CrimsonEnigma:
Did the painting on the 2nd room go well?

Seymor Onion:
I haven't started in on painting the second room just yet, but I should be done with the prep work tonight.

I would have painted sooner, but I completely forgot that I needed to square off a doorway-shaped-hole in the wall. XD
That's what I've been working on this evening; roughing in a door opening.

I've got the 2x4's and plywood in place;
Now I gotta put the elbows on, and Spackle it all up.

After I paint, but before I put the carpet back down,
I need to cut away the excess foam sealant.
You can see some of it in the above picture.
It seals any gaps between the Floor and the Wall; keeping bugs out.

The Spackle I use, dries fairly quickly, so I can start painting the Second Room tomorrow (Labor Day).

Well, at least the First Room's paint job turned out ok, and there's no other work that needs to be done to it. :P

::: EDITED TO ADD :::
Man, it took me all night, but the Spackle is on.

While it dries, I'm gonna take a nap.
I'll start painting when I get up.

WolfAlmighty:
Alright, it's October 13! Spill the beans, Seymor! ;D

Seymor Onion:
As ya'll know, a friend of mine went to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, two weeks ago.
While he was there, he handed out free samples of the HuCard Sleeves, along with coupons for 10% off anything ordered through my Website (HuCard & GBA Sleeves, GBA Trays, Games, Systems, Guides, and so on).

The Coupon Code is:
PRGE2012
It will stop working today, at midnight.
I also announced the Coupon Code to all of the subscribers to my Newsletter.

I had hoped that this promotion would generate enough sales, to cover the costs of prototyping the Game Cases, but alas, it did not. :'(

So, it's back to the original plan:
~ A diet of Instant Ramen, Bowls of Cereal, V8, and the occasional Cheeseburger,
~ Pouring more money from my day job, into the Prototype Fund, and
~ Doing the same with the earnings of online sales of my stuff.
~ Continue development of the *Stinky's Misadventures Game Series (For PC).

I'm not giving up on making the Game Cases.
Heck, for all I know, I could win the lotto at any time,
or I could start getting tons of orders from Christmas Shoppers,
or a large order of Sleeves from someone making homebrew HuCard-Based Games.

*Title subject to change.
I had planned to have a playable demo of it available today, but it was delayed, because I haven't been in the best of health for a while. It's not life-threatening, and is only temporary.
For those of you who don't know about my SMA Game Series, it will be divided into chapters, with roughly 60 hours of gameplay per chapter.
They'll be free to download, and a boxed version will also be available for about $20.
Merchandise based on the games will also be available for purchase, and there will also be a donation button for downloaders who don't want the boxed version, nor any merchandise.
ETA for completion of Chapter One is less than one year, but a playable demo should be available within 2 weeks.
