Title: Attained one goal
Post by: mynameismud on February 25, 2013, 10:09:19 AM

Getting closer.  Had a goal over the weekend that I would be able to come home from work on Monday and sit on the couch.  Well, we got the living room painted even though I set us back a half day by using the wrong paint for the first coat.  I also got part of a retaining wall built so we can get past my car when it is in the carport.  Managed to tend the Weekend by sitting on the couch and eating Ice Cream and while watching the T.V.  May have gone to bed past Midnight but we did it.

The paint for the trim, white high gloss.  It is now flat pixie dust.

That was my response.
Baseboards, paint trim, assemble/setup the rest of the furnature and the the living room is done.

Oncoming or outgoing train?

I'm afraid it's the latter... when I'm on the project. I changed my mind about the color of one wall (yes, after having just painted two coats one day ago). Wanted some contrast on this offset/accent wall, but there was very little. Decided to be bold and just brought three color samples home. At least, I told Mr. Mud, the new color would be a mudncrud color.  He is bummed about having to repaint the wall, but is otherwise accommodating. My craziness.

I almost drove up to your guys' place Sunday after bouldering just to see how the remodelling is going.

well you managed to dodge picking up a paint brush. 

Although there was a hidden stash of beer.

You know I used to paint with the caustic stuff you have to wear a respirator for?

there's no advice given in this thread, just hints that if he needed a hand can be bribed to paint with belays at pins. Just sayin.
