Still Painting

Thursday ~ 11-6-08
Still painting the wall....One thing I have learned ( I learned this a while back, but didn't implement it) is cheap paint is not good on a time crunch....It takes too long to paint over and over again...So, I can't paint the massive baseboards until I get better paint...I am finished painting the bathroom...Now, I have to pull up the floor...yuck...It is going to be hard....Such a small area and hard to get any tool in there to rip up the floor....

I addressed the windows...Some of the windows were replaced and some weren't...The ones that weren't are original to the house and I really like them...So, I decided to clean them really good and see how they would look....BEAUTIFUL!!!! I had to call Jim....we decided to just clean them and re-glaze them and live with them...Huge savings in MONEY!! Now, we can add that money to the kitchen budget....which will be the bulk of the budget!!!

Started spray painting the inside fireplace fire box...It is that ugly yellow brick color... So, the fire place has that yellow brick, a red brick hearth, and black tile around the outside...TOO many colors...so, the black spray paint will tone all that down. ...Once done there, I have to build a mantel....

My first week of work coming to a close and I don't feel too good about progress...There is SO much I can't do...So, I have to wait...And again, it's that patience thing again....
