kitchen remodel 27

Paint is really annoying. It is made to be as thin as possible, while still providing enough coverage. So when it dries, it should be nothing but pigment. And it doesn't fill in any gaps. Which is good, I guess, but you're like, "I'll just paint right over this pin hole, and it will fill in." But no. Every tiny crack or hole you left, will show through the paint. But if the paint drips or runs, that drip or run will dry like that, and you'll be left with it forevermore.

The plan was to bring in the appliances today, but we figured we'd better clean the floor first.

Cindy had a lunch date, so I did the final painting. In the daylight I saw some spots I missed, plus the ones that just smeared the first time around. After that I cleaned up the kitchen. Got all my tools out, and washed the counters.

Cindy got home shortly before I had to leave, and she cleaned the floor in the evening. She went out and got a spray bottle of some stuff that was recommended for the "luxury vinyl" flooring. It looks really clean now, and she even got off most of the glue that was left behind by the installers.

the weekend

The weather was great this weekend. Seventy-five, sunny and breezy. I wanted to be outside as much as I could.

Saturday was a busy day. I started out with a little gardening and then running back and forth to the post office. Then I painted the ceiling in the kitchen. After that I mowed the lawn. When that was done we went out to eat, since there were no appliances in the kitchen. Then I painted the walls in the kitchen.

Today I did a little bit of gardening, then more painting in the kitchen. And some cleaning. I spent a while in the back yard taking photos. Then gaming in the evening.
