Welp, it has been a very productive weekend but I did manage to have some fun and relax a bit.
Friday night, I prepared the rest of my doors for painting and my friend Joel came over and picked up my dining table and chairs and then grabbed some Indian food. It is nice to have them gone but at the same time, a little sad.
Saturday, I put the primer on the doors and my sofas came! Boy are they nice! A little mishap though, the sofas I ordered were a slight olive color but the ones I got were a light tan. I like the tan onces better and they will go better with my carpeting, so I am happily keeping them.
Walter came over and we had dinner and watched some Sex in the City.
This morning (while watching the World Cup) I was vacuuming my old sofas to get off the cat hair when my phone rang. It was Out of the Closet. They were a few hours early. I told them my stuff wasn't ready and they said that maybe they could come back. I continued to clean, determined the old sofas and my dresser would leave my place today.
My friend Mike came over to pick up my old big sacreen TV in my bedroom and while he was here, he was kind enough to help me take the old sofas and dresser out by the curb. This way if Out of the Closet came back, it would be easier for them and if they didn't, well maybe someone would take them.
So everything is gone that needs to be. Another milestone reached, although I must say...saying goodbye to the dresser was a bit sad. I've had that thing since I was born. I think it was my oldest brother's in our room back in Southampton.
After all that, I painted the doors and then I fixed my wall! Well, almost. I cut away all the stuff that was hanging and then put one layer of spackle on and smoothed it with the scraper thingy then I took a quick break. I went in the pool for a bit as it was very hot today.
Now, I am going to tape up the kitchen, remove all the appliances and remove the wall switch plates. My plan is to have everything taped, then apply more spackle so everything is ready to primer tomorrow. Paint Tuesday, rewire the light switches and outlets Wednesday (if I don't go to Bingo!) then do my bathroom the following few days.
Welp, better get taping. I have a craving for Weinershitzel corn dogs and I can't eat until the taping is done!
It hasn't been the most exciting of weekends, but it is stuff I need to get done. :)
