So the wife and I had moved into her parents old bedroom, and were using their furniture. So we got it all out, and gave it back to them. Well, the room had never been painted before (bare plaster), so we had to prime everything. 12' ceiling, everything. I'm sitting at work with white primer in my hair. I tell you, that top rung gets scary. Anyway, new ceiling fan installed, and everything looks great. This Friday, I'm going to start on the floor. I just can't wait to be done. Thank you income tax refund!



3 walls: green color, "river bank" ...think clay, but green

1 wall: red color, "burnt tile" ...think about burnt tile...yep



fan: go here , and it's the fan on the home page

 

Sounds like fun

 

sounds homey

 

yeah, we feel much better about the room now, like it's ours, and we're not just using it for awhile



we plan on slowly redoing all of the house...floors, walls, kitchen.....but with like a decade time frame

 

you are remodeling your parents house?? and they still live there?? boy, howd you get the **** end???

 

they're in the process of moving into their new house, which happens to be across the street (that's why we gave them their furniture back)



they have yet to get appliances (getting all new, top of the line stuff), but that's just about all they have left



they totally redid everything in the new house, inside and out, and my wife and I are getting the old house from them



oh, and it's not the "**** end," because they're giving us the house, free of charge

 

yeah thats the good end!

and it took me this long to just realize that I put "painting if fun" rather than "is fun"

 

my goal before getting married = be able to support myself and wife

 

good goal! or, you could marry a wife who could take care of you and herself!
