Paint

Things are coming together at the house. Slowly, but it is coming together. Most of the ceilings and a few walls have been painted . Some of the sheet rock is not right, so some areas of the paint have repairs. Not very pretty, but at least the first coat is up. The bonus room is a disaster now. The plan was to do it in grey to provide darkness for better viewing of movies. The wall surrounding the screen is Black Fox. However, the Dovetail gray is purple. A light purple with a shade of gray. Yuk. This will have to be repainted a real gray.

Yesterday, Tide Guy installed the two ceiling fans and recessed light trim in the living room.

The deck is coming along. Most of the drainage materials are installed and the deck surface is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Tide Guy was supposed to be out of town this week, but has changed his trip so he can be here this week. When the deck materials are delivered, we are supposed to supply labor to unload the truck. My brother and his friend, who are building the deck, agreed to help unload the truck. Now, Tide Guy has decided to be there.

Our tile guy said he would start tomorrow. We'll believe that when we see him. He is fabulous at his trade, but is so busy he doesn't always show up when he says he will.

Gas prices have dropped down to about $2.29 a gallon. Great news.
