Hanging around the house

The morning started out with coffee and the usual Sherri playing her games on line and me reading journals. The weather was going to be nice today so after coffee I headed out to the garage to work on getting it cleaned up and ready for my work bench which I will be building. I have a whole barn full of woodworking tools that will need to be brought over and I have to have somewhere to stow all the odds and ends I have.
This is just one of the many projects I have to do before the real hot summer weather moves in. I want all the exhausting jobs done before the temps go up.
We started painting the living room and the entry this past weekend. It is hard to cover the peach color. It was a satin finish and we are going over it with a flat, which makes it that much harder to cover.
Our furniture will be here this week and we want to have the painting all done before that. I bought me a 7ft ladder from Wally World to paint the vaulted ceiling in the living room. I don't look forward to being up that high but it has to be done.
The kids bought me a 50 inch TV for my birthday. WOW is it cool or what! I can sit there in the den on one side and see the TV all the way across the room. It is also a 3d TV! Talk about neat!
OK nuff said this morning I need to get started on the next project before its time to hit the hay...

Are you guys going to hold onto the property with the barn or are you using it to store the trailer when you're not using it?
The joys of working on a house I don't miss. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.

Please be careful with the ladder.... when we did all our ceilings, we used a telescoping pole on the handle of the paint roller, much safer with two feet on the ground when looking overhead. We only used the ladder to reach up into the corners and edges with a brush to cut in...

Post some pics of your progress!
