Paint, Paint, and more Paint

Wow! Lindsey and I will be done tonight with the painting of the living room, kitchen, hallways, and accent ledges. This has been a tremendous project. I will post some pictures and more details later. We bought a new entertainment center for the living room, should be hanging some Fat Chef pictures up in the kitchen, and will be hanging up some of L's accent decorations. The house received a much deserved face-lift (complete understatement).

The best part of the whole thing - a ladder was left at the house when I moved in. It is old and never folds quite right up for me. Well, one of the brackets would not lock to secure the ladder. So, I grabbed some WD40 and sprayed away to loosen the dirt and grime that had built up. I still could not get it to lock up. I decided, "If it ain't gonna lock, it is pretty well stuck then." Not the case. As I exerted my 165 pounds onto the first and second steps, the ladder decided to fold nearly in half. It scared the crap out of me. But I held on to my paint roller, did not hurt myself (it is an oddity), and did not spill any paint. My heart was pounding at a decent rate but I was fine. The pictures are great. Again, I will post some soon. That's all for now! Off to work :-(
