sunday morning started with more paint prep: sanding, scraping and cleaning.
mathew set the ladder up on the stairs, which seemed scary at first but worked quite well.
after sanding the walls and trim we cleaned with TSP to take off any grease so the paint will adhere better, then we rinsed and applied a base coat of primer.
with all this scrubbing and painting i couldn’t help but think about the movie, karate kid. mr miyagi, i’m ready for my karate lesson! wax on, wax off.
where’s dumpie?? at one point i couldn’t find dumpie! it’s a game i play with my brother, justin. in almost every post, if you look closely at the photos, you’ll find dumpie in at least one photo (you could go blind playing.) but on sunday dumpie went missing and it was a real game of “where’s dumpie” for me. eventually i found him in the kitchen.
we painted until 11 pm, cleaned the brushes and rollers, then went downstairs to have dinner.
