Well…after working on the dining area for weeks to repair all of the plaster that was cracked or gone, I finally got to painting it today and that was a frickin marathon…took me three hours to put two coats on and the front wall looks like it is going to need a third coat from the window sill down…the paint just sucked into it and left it with a\u00a0 pinkish tint and there are still areas that look like I didn’t paint over the pink at all in the corner.\u00a0 But, I didn’t notice it until after I had disposed of the roller cover and cleaned up the brush and pan and I am not going to waste another roller cover to do such a small area…so it will wait until I get the final room prepped and ready and start painting there…the rest of it looks good so I can live with it for a couple of weeks…now I just need to sand and repaint the corner trim tomorrow and then replace it this weekend and the room will look finished…then I need to figure out how to get the sticky stuff off the floor that won’t come up with anything I’ve tried yet…think I may try WD since that is supposed to take off gunk…or, I remember a product called goo gone that really worked on sticky stuff so I may try to find some of that next week….it feels good to accomplish something finally…but I did really hurt my thumb and it is throbbing so it is going to need some ibuprofen and some rest for a few days before I use it hard again…crap…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
