It has started. The painting. The cleaning. The aching back and tired arms. But it is all worth it. For those of you, my faithful blog readers, who don't know, we are in the process of fixing up the house in the orchard for us to move into. Fortunately, the work in minor. Unfortunately, there is minor work in EVERY room. I spent the last week washing out cupboards and peeling contact paper from shelves. Yesterday, I began painting the shelves from the bathroom. Today, we began on the kitchen. Darrin washed the cigarette smoke and dirt from the walls. The yellow streaky walls were gone after the first layer of primer. Hello white clean walls. Tomorrow, one more layer of primer on the ceiling and it is time to paint. My color choice you ask...white ceiling and the one full wall will be Crimson. I can't wait to see that red wall. The new counter tops will be done the last week of May. I can't wait to see the first room finished.
