I feel like if I blink, I'll miss something.

Well, I finally started painting the walls. I’m not much for painting, but I am all for saving money by doing it myself.
Painting is almost one of the worst jobs for me, but when you put some great music on, turn it up, and start moving….
 
It’s not so bad!

Thank you Bud the Spud!
 
That’s all I have for tonight. I’ll be sure to post more as everything progresses.

The windows got a coat of plastic over them, in order to be ready for painting.

Everything has been sanded down and given a coat of primer. The ceilings are completely painted. Now all I have to do is get the paint and all the rest of the stuff I need to get this place done.
Our builder will be back in the next couple of weeks, so I had better get myself busy. Once he returns, the trim and floors will get done, then the kitchen, then hopefully we move in!
 
Don't worry though, I'll be back before then!
