So, despite sleep deprivation from being post (very busy) nights, I hauled my sorry ass out of bed yesterday and painted the porch, the patches on the wall that needed touching up, the sink pillars…
…and the wall in the laundry room.
Today I put a second coat on the pillars and the porch, and will try and get a third done tonight.
The list I’d made before was:
– Paint the entryway
– Paint the back wall (just touching it up, but there’s a lot of touching up)
– Remove the doors and get them dipped-and-stripped
– Touch up some paint in the kitchen
– Finish the deck and the garden path
– Weed the garden and chuck down 100s of litres of bark chip
– Paint the bathroom doorframe
Of which I’ve managed none. Well, part of one. And I realised that:
– Remove excess grout residue
– Make panel to go under sink
Were missing from that list, thus making me sad.
Frustratingly, the weather is not being terribly helpful with me finishing the deck; rain drenching the entire thing persistently over the last few days. I need to go and get some more pallets, so I may throw the roof rack on tomorrow and do that, especially since I’m running some friends to the airport later this week and will need the rack on for that.
We are planning to go and see my mum this week too, but it’s come to my attention that might have to be a one-day event, rather than a two day one, because I think we might need another day for house stuff. Another week would be handy, but we really want to get the house on the market ASAP. Being scared we won’t sell it in time – that’s freaking me out a little.
