So the last few days haven’t exactly gone off as expected. I was hoping to be able to spend about 12-14 hours a day painting and getting things in the new house ready so we can move in nice and easy this weekend, but it looks like I’ve bitten off more than I can chew.
First off, there’s some unpainted wainscot in the room that Bryce will be in, and we’re not too wild about it in there. We decided to rip it out and just paint in the room, but there’s some issues with that. Primarily the holes made by the nails from the wainscoat itself, and then the deep blue color on the walls underneath the wood. So four coats of primer and two coats of paint later the room is finally ready… mostly. Evans room required 2 coats of primer on one wall and only one on the remainder. Sheesh!
So I’ve taken the remainder of the week off as well and will have to finish up what I can before we move the big stuff this weekend and begin the last stage of purging ourselves from our old home. And some time soon I should really try to get more than 4 hours of sleep in a day.
