When I bought the paint for the living room, I went to Sherwin-Williams because it was one of their colors. The lighter shade that went onto the office walls was a regular interior base, but the darker color I’m using in the living room is their Duration interior. Our first surprise was that it wasn’t [...]
Yeah, the repairman said it was fine, and it worked OK for a couple of weeks. Yesterday it was making the most horrible screeching sounds, so today I threw in a load of rags, and we went from horrible screeching to nails down a blackboard screeching. By the time I noticed the smell, the tub [...]
Took these Tuesday morning, but we were off to NYC and I didn’t get a chance to write about them. Today was a wash, too – I might not have traveled as far from home, but I probably put the same number of miles on the car. *sigh* So here’s the office, with the fishtank [...]
We were all up at the crack of dawn this morning. The teensiest beginning of a smidge of the crack of dawn. We threw on clothes and drove to Ortley Beach to watch the sun rise. I don’t remember there being so much trash on the beach last year, but at least it was almost [...]
Office is done. Must check for touch-ups needed in daylight. Hands stiff. Painting clothes even stiffer. Smell bad, must take shower. Up super early tomorrow to watch sun rise at the beach. Then breakfast. I hope not no more paint. Ow, ow, but sanding worse. Ugh. Me super tired painting woman. I show pictures later.
Heh. Yes, I will be the hostess with the mostest. . . paint and brushes and sandpaper!! Come on by, scrape some walls, assemble some furniture, and I’ll feed and entertain you! Woohoo! My back is feeling a bit better because I’m doing my PT exercises, so I’m rarin’ to go. We have two rooms [...]
With all the furniture out, and the floors down, hubby and I started talking color for the livingroom and diningroom. Unfortunately, since the water damage in that area wasn’t limited to the floor, we knew that it would mean serious prep work. There were plenty of places where the dampness had cracked the paint, and [...]
I threw my back out Monday, just in time for all the furniture moving. We managed by carefully planning what I would move or not move and enlisting the kids. The laminate is all down in the living/dining room, and the installer is working on the edges and joints. The bedroom comes next. It looks [...]
So, I drop Carolyn off at her computer class, pick up a few things at Lowe’s and Target, and head home. . .but as I’m turning into the driveway, I see this big bump. Then it moves. I get out of the van, and it’s a good-sized box turtle! Well! I picked him up and [...]
We have a little wait until the shelving comes in for the studio/garage, so I started cleaning up, rearranging, throwing things out, etc., so that I could patch up the drywall and paint the next couple of walls. This was working out pretty well. We didn’t have to go out and buy anything except joint [...]
