Old House

We spent the day painting the kitchen. Everything got painted, ceiling and on down.

We bought a very pricey gallon of low odor "green" paint. Okay that's fine except, when I put it on the walls, it did not stay put. It started to literally slump off the wall and make clumps. I did lose my cool. Having spent all this time getting everything prepped and finally ready for painting, I now had a problem that was going to require extra time to fix.

I wrote the paint company a very strong letter. I told them it was junk and ridiculously overpriced.

We did get a free gallon of the regular latex paint, which worked fine, but I believe we deserve a refund.

Anyhow, at this point, its looking good. Its been a long haul, we are not quite finished yet. There are a few more steps but its functioning.

I put in new fencing and repaired old fencing. Got my yard together , cleaned up and orged my wood pile and turned off my outside water. Today, it's more of the same. Warm down here this morning.
