A Whole Bunch of Whatever!
I think I’m getting abit behind or maybe I just want to make a blog about each individual thing that we do. Either way I want to do a what ever post because that is how I’m feeling right now!
First, I should give you an update! Since getting the family room smeared with mud to make Spanish Lace, we have primed it. ALL OF IT (except for the wainscoting, which was below the burgundy)! It took Patrick and I 5 hours and almost 4 gallons of white Bullseye Primer. I hate that stuff! It has a very strong ammonia smell. I’m sure it wouldn’t have taken us as long as it did, if I hadn’t had to take a break every 10 minutes to get fresh air. You probably ask, “Did you have ventilation?” The answer is a resounding YES! We had the screen door open because it was a nice warm fall day as well as a fan going. It’s just that the paint stunk — BADLY!!! So the room is now a solid white.
I’ve also taken some more pictures, besides the family room! I took them of the kitchen. I thought that it was time to get the pictures taken. Primarily, because it is no longer a mess of cleaning supplies. We also unpacked on of Patrick’s boxes, which some were full of kitchen supplies that we needed!

- Afer primer (without my flash on!)

- After primer (with the flash on my camera)

- Just another view

- This is our galley kitchen. Through the doorway, you can see the dining room. To the right would be the entrance into the family room. Our piss yellow counter tops and poop brown cupboards. Doesn’t get any better than that!
-
- Yep! It is built in and completely cooks off its own grease! Still works too!
-
- Yes, it is an electric cook top! The back right burner is too caked with grease that we are not going to use it. It was a hopeless cleaning job!
However, I went to the house on Monday and Patrick pointed out to me that certain spots on the ceiling are beginning to crack. Where did we go wrong? Too much paint? Not enough mud smeared? Who knows! Luckily, Nathan is going to come over and check it out. He knows the answer, I’m sure of it and he can help us!
I also posted pictures of the house on the first blog. There are two, one of the front and one of the back of the house. Enjoy!

So you have an electric cooktop as well as a stove?
