New TownHouse Renovation - Day 3 (2.27.06)
Goals: patch downstairs ceilings and finish sanding. Cleanup the rest of the popcorn mess from Sunday.
Monday started off slow. There was a huge rainstorm all day so moving things in and out of the place was not happening. This was our first day working directly after work, and we ended up staying until 10:30. I started off by finishing sanding the 1st floor stairwell ceilings, while waiting for Rena to bring some tasty Crocodile Cafe food. By this point, we are both really tired of being covered in drywall dust. But we feel the end is near as far as dealing with the mess. Our plan is to finish patching and doing the light sanding so we can prime tomorrow. I patch my way across the living room and dining room, and make my way towards the stairwell. While I do this, Rena is doing something....cleaning up...I believe and masking things off for priming. To tell you the truth, I can't remember. I am typing this on Thursday, and the days are starting to become a blur. I do know that we finished up and headed home confident that we would be able to prime the ceilings and the horrible purple wall on Tuesday.
The reason we are rushing to get the ceilings done, is our schedule calls for the wood floor to be installed starting on Saturday, so that the cabinets can be installed directly after that, and then the appliances can be delivered.
We accomplished 100% of our goals on Monday, so we were feeling pretty good.....but on Tuesday we had a bit of a setback.....
