Kitchen Remodel - Day 29

No photos today as not much changed.

The morning began dark and early as I drove the Scotts to the airport for their flight to Mexico. As soon as I got back home, I already felt lonely! (sniff, sniff)

Sydney and I went to Ikea to make a return and an exchange. The exchange Kevin made the other day turned out to be the right cabinet, but the wrong colour. I still think some chump from Ikea should have driven it over to our house considering it was their mistake. Pisses me off to have to go there so many times...

I did some touch up painting in the kitchen with my teeny tiny brush again, painted some door trim in the den/playroom and then organized a bunch of the Ikea junk in the living room, bringing various panels into the kitchen for installation.

The living room is still full of all the interior cabinet hardware which looks like an ominous job to me. Kevin seems unphased by it but it scares the hell out of me. He only has two more days of freedom before he has to go back to work full time.

At least the painting is almost done now. Just some living room touch ups to the ceiling and trim, then I can put all that stuff away until it's time for the kitchen baseboards. Ugh.

I can't believe I put 9 bloody coats on that damn den, plus sanded the room twice! I could have been finished last week if it weren't for the evil green room. The previous occupants told us that their mother's favorite colour was green. I suspect that she must have died in that very room, and this is her ghostly way of trying to get us out of her house!

I don't even know if she died in the house or not as they only tell you about the past two years, but there has to be some supernatural explanation for that weird colour phenomenon...

9 coats!! I would be bonkers by now and would have left it green.. I like your stamina lady!

fuck the trim.. that is what we did.. ha ha ha.. we do have freshly painted walls. This is only because Lloyd was out here and painted them. But the trim is still the same as it was when we moved in.. (except where Eric took the heat gun to a spot to see what kind of wood was underneath.. now that is sexy)

Cheers!
