Is it Friday yet?
Jun. 28th, 2004 02:25 pm*sigh* So, that big weekend overhaul were supposed to have to get the house ready for going into MLS July 1st was a bust. Well actually it wasn't. We got a lot done, just haven't finished it all yet.
First, the newly painted deck is pink. If you squint it almost looks like chocolate milk. It's so not though. The color we had it matched to is perfect. Unfortunately, when applied to the deck itself the perfect color turns lighter. On a brighter note our front door is now a lovely shade ofpink burgandy. o.O
I spent the weekend painting the walls. I made patches, and painted over them. Didn't get any more than one room done though because I spent most of my time going through the old cans of paint left by the previous homeowners trying to match them to the wall colors so I wouldn't have to repaint the entire room. Probably would have saved myself time if I'd just gave in and painted the whole damn room, but I'm stubborn like that.
A cleaning crew is coming in Wednesday to give the house a good spring cleaning, and to shampoo the carpets. Hopefully I'll have the rest of the rooms painted by then.
Oh, I also got a ton of graphics projects done this past week. Posters, wallpapers, icons, and more. Whee! I'm sure y'all have seen my stuff spread around. Maybe now I can find a bit of time to finish my fics. *crosses fingers*
