October 9th, 2008





Whew! A hot week has come and gone and bless those dry wall guys they didn't miss a beat even in the heat. Texture went on today and will be dry by Sunday for primer. Ahhh, Sunday, the day of rest or painting? We'll see. All of the interior paint was picked out and purchased. 14 gallons of primer, 4 gallons of ceiling white for...you guessed it, ceilings and closets, 3 gallons for the kitchen/great room and possibly bedroom #3, 2 gallons and two colors for Micah's room and 3 rolls of wallpaper and 1 gallon for the master bedroom. Probably not enough, but we have way extra of the exterior base color and trim so I am shy about buying too much until we see. Bathrooms yet to be determined. We finished all the exterior trim Wednesday and have started assembling the kitchen cabinets. Lots of heavy flat boxes turn into lovely white cabinets following pages of instructions and our little foreman to show us how its done! It is so handy to be 36" tall when you need to get inside a 36" wide cabinet to work on it. All of you who offered to help paint back when we were just talking about this project...we're calling your bluff! Dig out your roller frame and pan and meet us on Alameda next weekend!
PS. Ventura's most eligible bachelor is still single. The opportunity to casually cross paths with Danny Strong at our house as come and gone. Guess you could punch a whole in your own wall and give him a call:)
