Not easy being green. I hit the ground running this morning, checking in at the Home Depot by 7:30am. It's a funny time of day there, with the parking lot overflowing with well-worn white vans, and the aisles populated by sturdy dudes in coveralls. It's a far-cry from the 'handy yuppie' Saturday crowd, marking time until they can hit the hot dog stand at the exit.I picked up the paint we needed and went home to work. We chose the colors for the kitchen based on a bar lamp hand-crafted by the Village Lamp Shop and I got two gallons of a cheery celery green. However, when it was still wet and covering a 20-foot stretch of wall all I could think was 'neon pus'. Thankfully it dried to a much saner hue.
I was going to prepare the bedroom to move back in, when we found these weird white stains on the freshly varnished floors. They came up with a little scrubbing, but I want Jovan to make sure its not something more permanent.The condo assocation had a meeting tonight, and I actually had to do some preparation for that. It's pretty hard to care about building details on top of the rest of this, but duty calls.
Milan needs to come and finish up the wiring, and the floor guys are coming Monday, but the pace will be slowing soon. I could use the break.
