Too late too late!
So today I had wonderful lunch with Amy (www.amyrtw.com) and her boyfriend Greg. They're going to Peru at the end of the month and I filled em in on some details about Peru and South America. We also checked out some photos from each other's travels. Ended up being a really long lunch. I'm a sucker for talking travel and it's hard to stop :) It was cool to sit down and chat with Amy after having followed her travel journal for a year. Some great stories. She and Greg seem psyched about Peru. Good times guaranteed!
So I started the trim today at the condo. Well... I damn well near finished it, but at 2:30am I had to call it a night. I'm helping Thomas with his floors tomorrow morning so I gotta get some shuteye. Basically I finished painting almost all of the upstairs. I still have to paint the master closet and bathroom trim, as well as the stairs, and the infamous railings from yesterday's post. And response to the comments... I am using oil based enamel, so I can't just wipe it up. And cutting the half-circles may save tape, but I don't think it would save time. Taping piece after piece in a circle like a did is tedious, but you can do it fairly quickly. I'm still convinced there is a trick there to learn though.
So tomorrow.. helping Thomas with floors. Hopefully we will knock it out tomorrow. I gotta finish the painting on the condo by Sunday afternoon because it needs time to dry before the carpet people get there on Monday. I'm pretty sure I like how it came out, but I left the tape there just in case it needs a second coat. I may be regretting that when I try to pull the tape off, but it's a chance I'm going to take. I don't want to pull the tape off and then decide I need another coat and have to repaint.
Whew. ok. I'm beat. 3:21am. Shower then bed. G'nite.
Whiter!
Shiny new ledge
New sill
