The Construction Chronicles Part 9

I'll say it again...I love, love to paint!

I'm not normally a lover of yellow. It's cheerful, and I'm introspective...

But, I love this yellow. Gerbera Daisy, Ralph Lauren color, Glidden paint, killer sale for a five gallon bucket. I still have half the primer and paint left over for the second floor hallway. Grace and I cut in, and Dick followed with the roller. We had a blast. When we finished on Sunday, we were exhausted, but really excited about the progress.

I started to prep the kitchen area for the laminate flooring after they left, but then remembered that the flooring was in the garage and needed to adjust to the house temperature before I could install it. So, I'll try my hand at floor installation for the first time tomorrow night.

It is so great to have the apartment painted. And now I get to do some of the pretty stuff.



I'm having difficulty remembering now how filthy and grim this space was a few months ago. So much work has gone into it, all prettily hidden under drywall and paint. I'm so glad I took pictures.

The next few days I'm hoping to get the flooring laid, paint the bathroom and stairwell, paint the leaded window, and seal the cabinets with poly. Stay tuned.
