Weekend one, the startening

Well, the first weekend in over and we are pretty sore.  In no particular order we have done the following:

  • Moved over some non-essentials, this is stuff like our holiday decorations, folding chairs.
  • Received a fridge and patio furniture from a friend who moved out of town this week, we are happy for her, but sad to see her go.
  • Took down the window hangings from the upstairs bedrooms, this in preparation for both painting and bringing in our own choices for the windows.  I need black out curtains in the master bedroom so I can sleep in.
  • Did several trips to Home Depot and Sherwin Williams.  Ended up picking up some painting supplies, nail hole repair, a garden hose (got to have one), and exterior caulking compound.
  • Started stripping wallpaper from the upstairs bathroom.
  • Removed face plates for outlets and switches upstairs.
  • Pulled almost all hanging nails from whole house, left a couple we felt were in good locations.
  • Proceeded to use nail hole filler in all above holes.
  • Decided on a paint color for the master bedroom, painted a wall.
  • Decided that paint color sucks, bought another color.
  • Did a first pass of painting on the guest bedroom since the master bedroom annoyed us, it is in the timeout box for a weekend.
  • Got water / power hooked up.
  • Got internet installed, even have WiFi!
  • Have two tired humans resting.
  • PX90 has nothing on us.

Spicy (Gail's car) is packed with the first load of stuff, mad Tetris skillz:

 Living room, the left sample is the sand color we are planning for most rooms, and the right color is our downstairs accent wall:

Taping off the rooms to get clean lines, we'll see how well that worked:
