And it's not over.
Yesterday was spent finish mudding and sanding, then primering in the evening.
Today has been spent painting the ceiling. Went through almost 4 gallons of Behr Latex Flat ceiling paint. It's DONE though, the ceiling at least.
Tomorrow is going to entail as much as I can get done from about 0700 until I have to go to job #2 (Gov't holiday at least)......There's a 30 foot wall, a 40 foot wall, and a whole host of other smaller walls.
I have tuesday night off from Auto Zone, so it'll be spent finishing the painting.
Tuesday night, Wednesday and Thurdsay nights (after 2130 when I get home from a day at BOTH jobs all day) will be spent removing the old carpet, which will SUCK because whoever had it put in freaking GLUED the old pad to the cement. :(
Friday the new carpet goes in on top of new 8# pads. It's a Mohawk Frieze, sandy color with color flecks. Not my top choice, but it wears well and hides stains like nothing else (cats).
Saturday we're moving the entertainment center stuff down and arranging all the furniture, and have to take our main couch downstairs until we can afford a new or slightly used sectional.
Got a KILLER deal though on a mini-fridge for the workout corner of the basement. It was at Home Depot, a little 4.0 cubic foot Magic Chef with a stainless front. Retail was $169. This one was sitting out, had a dent on the lower rear, a pretty good one. Tag said $110. Plus 10% military, got it for $100. Dent will NEVER be seen because we put a cutout in the wall and a platform for this little fridge and will trim around it.
Pics forthcoming sometime this week, before, progress, after. Biggest hurdle during the carpet install will be moving the 8' one inch slate pool table.
I'm dead. Got a card game to go to now. Have some brews and hopefully win some money.
