Today was basically a full day's worth of work. It started when I got to the condo around 2pm and finally took down the framed horse picture that was hanging in the garage. That hideous painting has been bolted down to the wall of the condo's garage since I bought the place and God only knows why anyone would have a framed picture of a horse in mid gallop in a garage. I got in and finished taping, touched up the primer in a couple places that I missed. I cracked open the Toasted Wheat with the Flat Enamel finish and began painting the corners and around the ceiling. Katie showed up after work and we painted, and painted, and painted and painted, and took a break for dinner, and then... we painted.
In the middle of the painting, Kristie and Marissa came over to visit. Another momentous moment occurred when Kristie went to her car, came back and became the first person to ring our doorbell. We ran out of paint and had to do a Home Depot run around 9pm.
Fun Fact: Home Depot is open until 10pm
Around 10:20 we finished painting and cleaned up. Plenty of before and after pictures were taken. The plan for tomorrow is to prime the bedroom, paint the fireplace and MOUNT THE TV! After that the before and afters will be posted. It was a good day, we finished a lot, we worked well together, and the way the colors pop on the walls does more than look good, it makes the place truly ours.
