Day 10 is something I haven't attempted before, plasterwork. I picked up Poly spackling compound and thinned it out with white latex paint, it mixes to about the consistency of oatmeal and not much smoother than that it seems. I started out dabbing it on with a brush but I really really hate stucco. after doing two walls in bumpy stucco I decided "to hell with this" and grabbed a discard piece of wood, loaded it up, and started smooshing the plaster on to the wall.
The photo is the first coat, I will put a second on, sand lightly, seal, and add timbering trim / beams. Plastering is actually a helluva lot of fun, I have to say it's been my favourite wall effect to date.
