Perfesser: All Hail the Majesty of My Caulk!

I spent most of Thanksgiving weekend with my caulk out. I had been meaning to do it for a while, but the weather had been so cold it was going to make my caulk shrink.

Truth be told, I've always been a little leery of the whole caulk thing. Every time I've played with caulk, it's just remained so bunched up and wrinkly. My caulk has just never turned out very attractive before.

This time, however, I knew the secret: you have to have your fingers a little damp if you want to straighten out the caulk. I also found if you massage your caulk in the opposite direction of the ridges, you can make it smooth in no time. Well, I say no time, but it still took two hours for my caulk to get completely firm.

Anyway, I am exhausted after putting the ol' caulk into every hole and crack I could find, but I think the neighbors were excited to see me getting the job done.
