Today I painted 2 bathrooms and about ⅓ of a large room. I'm talking the whole 9 yards - dusting walls, taking down switch plates, taping, cutting in, and rolling. We didn't have a ladder with a tray to hold things so I was up and down our ladder ALL. DAY.
I discovered that I'm getting good at cutting in without tape; I did an entire door frame and the wall where it meets a popcorn ceiling pretty perfectly. I think the trick for me is to be exhausted, perched precariously, and holding my breath. 😂😂😂 Usually I do more fine work with my left hand but in this case depending on the angle my right hand might be better.
Another thing I did was chase down a neighbor who was riding on his lawn mower. 😂 We want him to do some work in our yard (he'd offered before) and we hadn't been able to catch him outside. So there I go, covered in paint, paintbrush in hand, titties flapping in the wind - chasing after this nice unsuspecting man. I caught him and he was so nice. His teeth were beautiful. And he came over after he was done mowing to see what needed to be done and give us a price. He came in for a bit and also complimented my lines. 😃
Needless to say - I'm exhausted. Shaun also worked hard today. He painted some ceilings and changed out some fixtures and put up a new mailbox among other things. The house in Anniston is coming together nicely and I'm really excited to see it finished. I know it's going to be a great home for someone. It's kind of bittersweet now that it's getting close to not being ours, but that's ok.
Anyway, I'm probably about to crash out. I hope you all are doing well. ❤️
