New TownHouse Renovation - Day 10 (3.06.06)
Monday:
Goals: Paint the kitchen, finish the dining room ceiling, and clean up the floor mess.
I head over straight after work, and get into cleaning up the mess we made over the weekend. It is pouring rain, so things are getting wet on the patio, so I remove what’s out there and clean up all the tools and lights and tables so that I can sweep. I vacuum out the kitchen, clean up all the left over refuse and begin painting the kitchen walls. Rena shows up with some tasty Crocodile Cafe, and we have dinner on our new wood floor.
Afterwards, we decide to cover the new wood floor with plastic sheets to protect it from painting and general home construction debris. This takes about 4-5 years to do and when we are done, we are both ready for the night to be over. We decide to muscle our way through getting the first coat on the kitchen walls, and then call it a night.
Tomorrow I need to finish the dining room ceiling and start assembling cabinets. One thing I didn't mention is the fact that there are a couple of spots on the living room ceiling that need to be sanded and filled again, but I think we are 90% done with that.
Tonight Rena has work stuff to do, so I'm on my own.
