First coat of Primer.



The realtor called a couple of hours after the handyman left.  I told him our little of meeting and that we all needed to get on the same page.  He agreed and reveled that this was not his normal handyman.  His normal handyman passed away recently and we are apparently a guinea pig for this one.  He said he would call him and set up a meeting so we can all get together to go over what needs to be done.  He also gave me the code so I could get the keys our of the lock box.  Now I can lock up the house and go grab something to eat.

After grabbing much needed food and coffee, the rest of the day was finishing up the cleaning and putting on the first coat of primer in that bedroom.  It is so nice to get that primer on.  Kind of cleans up the walls.  Am using a one coat primer, but can still see the colors bleeding through, so looks like another coat tomorrow.  Hopefully the one coat stuff will work better in the other rooms.

With the first coat of primer on in one room, it was time to start working on the upstairs bathroom.  Know it sounds silly, but the first thing was to clean the entire bathroom.  This is so I have a cleaner place to work, it allows the painters tape to stick to surfaces, and will make the clean up from the mess I am about to make painting that much easier.   

After the bathroom was clean, it was late and time to hit the sack.  Literally.  The bed is a sleeping bag and pillow on a blanket on the floor. This time I was awake enough to pull out the Therm-a-Rest and put that down for some padding.  The sleeping situation is not going to change until I get home.
