New Apartment, Painted
May 15, 2004We painted the new apartment. In twelve hours the two of us taped, ndraped, primed, painted and cleaned up most of the walls of then1200 square foot space (we skipped the kitchen and bathroom and thenceilings were recently painted). Note to self, get a taller step ladder andndo a better job adjusting paint quantities for window, door and closet areas-nwe over bought a bit. nWe didn’t want to rope any of our friends or family into it like we have nin the past. Some of our friends have helped us paint or move more nthan once and I think we’re running a deficit on the favors.nnWe’re tired. Really tired. The kind of tired that reminds me that I’mnglad I have an office job. The hour at the gym two or three times a weeknis nothing compared to standing, climbing ladders and crouching all day.
