Well…pretty much on time this morning with getting up at 6:05 but it took me a half hour to get to my first cup of coffee after reading the news for a bit and getting my first water of the day down…slept okay but have that damn headache that I’ve had on and off for months now and I’m sure it’s allergies since my head is plugged up…I wonder if it’s just still from the dust after sanding the trim and cleaning up? But, I’m done with that in the kitchen and today starts the final push to finish it by the end of the week…going to paint the trim this morning and if I have time after I get those two coats done and let it dry, I’m going to paint the ceiling in there…I do need to let it dry so I can put down drop cloths without smearing the paint on the trim…if I can get the trim done with still having about a third of a gallon left, I can do the ceiling today but will need to get out for more paint in the next couple of days if I run out….and I don’t think I have enough grey to finish the walls but I will be able to get at least one coat on if I have enough painter’s tape to mask it off…but the white needs to dry for a day or so first or the tape will pull paint off and I’ll have to touch up lots of spots…didn’t do a whole lot yesterday with it being my day off but I finished off the sanding for some repairs I did on the basement door frame and I cleaned the bathroom since it was way overdue…I am quickly inching up on needing another week off to heal up since my right thumb is howling already and I am sore everywhere…and I hope that will be next week and I will use the week off to buy the range hood and install it along with a complete scrubbing of the range and kitchen floor and do some repairs on the tiles since I’m not replacing it until next year… and then I can move the bookcase I’m using for my microwave stand back into the kitchen and that will end the work in there…finally…not much to do today…just need to get on the bike here in a few and then get to painting…can’t wait to see what the white trim looks like after I finish…and I think the whole kitchen project is going to be worth it after I get the detail work done…at least it will be clean and I won’t be embarrassed by it anymore….more later….
