More Painting!

Today is the last day I have to paint. I am thoroughly bored with this project now, and tired to death of sanding, priming, painting, staining, finishing and lugging lumber in and out of the house.

My schedule for today is this:

Take 10 beam-wrapping boards off my dining room table and lay out across porch railings. Sand. Wipe down dust. Coat with polyurethane. Wipe drips. Let dry. Put back on my dining room table. Clean brush and hands.

Paint bathroom closet. Clean rollers and brushes. Paint bathroom walls. Paint baseboards. Drag closet door out of basement. Paint closet door. Paint door and window mouldings. Let dry. Paint everything again. Clean rollers and brushes again. Drag closet door back into basement. Put all paint and supplies away.

Wash drywall mud off of bathroom floor. Wipe up inevitable paint drips before they dry.

Have several glasses of wine. Collapse.

Here is Joe's list for next week:

Wrap beams with Pam's beautifully stained and finished lumber. Install fan and trim sides. Re-route and install heater vent. Install hand-held shower. Install vanity, top, sink, & faucet. Hook up plumbing to sink. Install medicine cabinet and trim sides. Hook up electrical outlets and wire sconces. Install closet door. Build window frame and install window. Cut formica shelves. Cut closet shelves. Cut and install baseboards. Cut and install mouldings. Caulk everything.

And he thinks he'll be done on Monday????

HA!

Whew - as I sit here in the store reading your blog and eating your delicious cookies, I'm just simply overcome with exhaustion upon reading your "to do" list. I think I'll go home soon, eat soup beans and knit - just to get over what you have to accomplish!!!!!
