Day 15
by on Feb.15, 2009, under Uncategorized
Man am I beat. Today we worked our butts off! We got a little bit of a late start because Estela, dad, and I got stuck in the Home Depot vortex for about 2.5 hours! We got there shortly after 10am and didn’t leave until about 12:30pm. Mom thought we were taking the scenic tour she took the day before. We finally made it out of there and were able to get started. Our friends Kay and Bob showed up to help us paint and our friends from Arizona Bill and Edith arrived to stay and help us out for a while too. Estela, Kay, Bob, and Mom painted the big part of the living room.

It looks awesome!!! I didn’t take a picture because it wouldn’t come out very well. White walls aren’t very Photogenic. If I haven’t mentioned it before, we are giving the entire interior a coating of Behr high gloss white paint. We love it! We have a thing for clean white walls. It really makes the stone fireplace jump off the wall. You’ll have to come see it!
In addition to that, Tony pulled the stupid planter shelf (that was falling off anyways) off the wall and patched the holes. Thank you Tony!!! That thing was a hazard. The house already looks better with just that gone. Dad got to patching and treating our problem wall from the outside. Hopefully after that and a few coats of the Drylok we should have the moisture problem beat.
Bill and Edith got our old tub out of the bathroom and I tore out what was left of the bathroom to make way for the new green board, tub and surround. By the way, Home Depot was having a crazy sale this weekend, that’s part of the reason we were there for so long. We scored an awesome marble top sink and cabinet on sale today. We’re stoked about it. The main bath is gonna rock when we are done with it. Hopefully that’s very soon. Anyways, we got a lot done again today and I’m sure I forgot a few things. Edith brought their little Shih-Tzu Maggy Joe with them and we got distracted a few times. I’ll take a picture of her tomorrow. She’s so cute. She does look just like an Ewok.
Well, gotta crash, we are getting at it early tomorrow. Tune back in to see if we get that bathroom back in commision. Post ya later!
