Well, as of 3:00pm yesterday the new house became mine and Josh's. Things went smoothly at the closing. They handed my mom a key ring full of keys and said they didn't know what went with what. You would think they could have set a few aside and said, "This is the front door, and this is the side door." The two do take different keys. I had planned on going and getting Josh a BEARS key made as a surprise, but they were out of the house shape key. So, I'm still going to surprise him, it will just be delayed.
Mom and I got to the house and she realized she had forgotten several things that we needed including the rollers. We had one long one. We called Natasha to come over and bring a few of the things we needed...and her new dog (Harley). By the time she had gotten there we had the first coat on 2 walls in the living room. After Natasha and Harley left we decided that we needed to go get the other rolls to become productive.
So, we didn't REALLY spend a lot of time on the house last night. Although we did get a 2nd coat on the first two walls, a first coat on the other 2 walls in the living room, and then a first coat on the hallway walls.
I did decide that we are changing the color of 2 of the walls in Josh and I's rooms. What I was thinking before just isn't going to work.
I'm getting ready to get over and started. The Cilco man wasn't able to get a final reading yesterday because the meter is in my basement. So, I have to be over there all afternoon (which was the plan anyway).
I took BEFORE pictures...but am not going to post them till I have AFTER pictures.
Unfortunately, I have had a recurring back issue make a comeback at the most inconvenient time. I have had back surgery for a herniated disc both in May 2001 and October 2005. Now, right on time, 4 years later - I am in PAIN. Although it is not as bad as before, it is not helping right now, and could become aggravated by the work I'm doing. So, I have to take it easy and slow.
