Started Painting the Bathroom

This morning was a little overcast but it was also warmer due to the cloud cover so I guess that we have to take the good with the bad. I also had gotten up around 0430 kind of unintentionally as I had thought that the clock read 0530 so I was not as rested as I would have liked to have been.

I finished eating breakfast around 0530, loaded up the dishwasher and started it up. then I read the newspaper and recycled it. The box that we put the recycling in was getting pretty full so I took it outside and also the garbage from the kitchen.

Kathleen made it downstairs as she wanted to start painting the bathroom before Stan got here and since she did not like the color that she picked up last night she took off for Home Depot to get some more tint put in it.

Kathleen wanted me to pick up all the miscellaneous things lying around on the bathroom floor, so after eating I went and did that. Then I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away.

After I had everything picked up I went outside and raked the leaves from the back lawn. The walnut trees have pretty much dropped all their leaves so I did not have to do the front lawn today.

y the time I finished the upper level enough leaves had fallen again from the cherry trees that I could have raked them again, but since it is suppose to start raining tomorrow I thought that I would wait until the rain and wind knocked the rest of them down.

By the time I put my tools away and cleaned up the mail had gotten here so I went out and brought it in and opened it up. Mostly junk mail so I started filling up the recycling box again.

Kathleen came back and started painting and just after I changed into my painting shorts and shirt Stan pulled up with our cabinets that he had picked up this morning.

While he was here we called the place where we are having our vanity top made and also the place that is making the shower/tub surround. In fact they just called back from the tub surround place and said that they would like to install it next Monday, so that will be really nice.

So after I helped Stan unload the cabinets, which we are storing in the living room, he took off and I grabbed a roller and started painting. Kathleen did the cutting in or the ceiling/walls and also the corners that the rollers did not get.

Here are a couple pictures, unfortunately the color did not come out very true; it is more of a medium green and the pictures do not look that way, it must be poor lighting and the paint still being a little wet.




We finished up around 1300 and Kathleen left after she changed her clothes for the lady from church that she meets with on Wednesday. While she was gone I stuffed insulation around the window so that Stan could finish it off tomorrow.

I am hoping that tomorrow we will also be able to start installing the vanity cabinets on the wall. There are a couple other things that Kathleen wants him to work on as well so I am not sure if we will get started with them or not.

I was taking some building material outside when I saw a couple police cars at the corner of Shaver and 109th, and then I saw fire truck and an ambulance go down the street. I started to walk to the corner, but I thought that I would let the fire and police folks take care of their business.

They were still there when I went out again so this time I walked down and saw what had happened. When I first looked down there I saw one car, but now I could see another so my guess was that some one did not stop and the other car probably was going a tad bit fast and could not stop.

Kathleen is still not home yet, but I thought that I would do my blogging now as I doubt that there will be anything else exciting going on tonight.
