Second Day at the House aka Disaster!

So, the day started out pretty good. My dad taped & primed the living room & his friend even taped the bedroom for us! By the time I got there, after driving home in the horrible weather & stopping at the grocery store, Jay was there too and doing the edges.

So, after my dad leaves, Jay uses this new painting tool we got, paint 'n roll plus, to start putting on the first coat. So, its a great idea if you have a lot of paint, but we didn't for this room because we are only doing the 2 walls. So, it ends up wasting half a can of paint and now we are out of paint.

So, Jay drives 45mins to Canadian Tire in really crappy weather, only to find that the paint machine is broken and he can't get any more paint! So we lost like 2 hours with nothing to show for it except the supper he brought home for us. :(

So, now Jay is stressed, we are a day behind and I'm now taking Friday afternoon off. On top of that Jay now has to stay late at work and won't be done until 6 or later.

However, I think I may have found my tru calling in life. A Stripper! Wallpaper stripper that is. LOL. I had to remove the border on the bedroom wall and I was like a pro by the time I was done. Jay was even impressed when he saw I had it down to a fine science (and he doesn't impress easily).

So, hopefully tonight goes smoother...
