We began priming. So far we have done two coats.
It's starting to look like we might need to do three.
These are pictures of the first coat of paint.
It's fun to get messy with primer. (o:
More pictures to come...

House Work! Painting Prep...
Dave is showing you the many colors our room used to have.
I am peeling away a the paint.
Here is what we ended up with in that spot... so Dave thought he would dress the spot up a bit. (o;
Here is Dave hacking away at the chair rail.
I am impressed with all of our hard work... look a lialac stripe around our room! :-P
There it is... now can we sand stuff down, spackle, and prime... then paint.... hmm might be awhile.Thursday, September 11, 2008
Happenings...
Howdy folks, how goes it? A few blog-worthy items to report.
Allison's friend Laura came to town with her husband for Dragon Con. It's kinda like Comic Con in San Diego but more nerdy from what I understand. Here were are at Spondivit's having lunch:
Allison's bulletproof, "last forever" 2001 Honda Accord has been in the shop for over a week awaiting a new transmission. Apparently Honda dropped the ball on several different year models and car types with this particular faulty transmission. It took a class action law suit for them to extend the warranty to 7.5 years or 109,000 miles (random #), whichever first. Well, Allison's is at 121K so we are feeling the sting. Just called the shop and they were just about to test drive it with the new tranny. So she will be excited to get that back.
I've been doing a lot of sitting on my duff. I changed my preferences at work so as to not be at the top of the list when it comes to scheduling assigning trips. This is for a few reasons, one being too complicated to explain not to mention you probably wouldn't care. The main reason I will explain. For July and August, we had both mortgage and apartment rent to take care of. So there wasn't a lot of extra money. Now that we got rid of the apartment, we can start putting some money into the house for paint, decoration, etc.
Well, that was before the transmission decided to take all the extra money and then some. So I haven't had much of anything to do. No, I can't change my preference at work because it will change it for the entire month.
So I've been getting up, taking Allison to work, and coming home and sleeping for another hour. I've been watching a lot of movies lately so that's fun. But you can only take so much of that.
We went to Allison's "soccer practice" last night. That was interesting. She starts another season of women's soccer soon. Well, no one from her team really showed up but there were some people there from other teams. So this extremely pushy lady comes over and essentially bullies Allison and her former co-worker Holly into playing in a scrimage game. Holly hasn't played in about 8 years so it was a little overwhelming. Her boyfriend, Adam, and I had fun watching. The girls ended up quiting mid-game because the other players were being, uh, a little too serious. So the 4 of us went over to another field and kicked around on our own. It was fun.
Last week when I actually went flying, I got a nice shot of some post-Gustav storms with the light of the setting sun.
Ok. Have to get back to nothing.
