Got the ceiling painted last night. I was outside cleaning the sprayer at 10:00 last night. So much for working for 3 or 5 hrs a day.
I think it came out pretty well. I need to touch up a spot or two, but other than that, I am happy with the results.
I need to get paint for the walls and a ceiling fan today.
These pictures are from last night before the paint was dry so it looks a bit blotchy. It looks a lot better today.

I'm continually amazed at how much work CGVT does in retirement age. I'm not there yet but I was pretty impressed with myself for building a bench out of old 2x4s and bringing up a picnic table to my cabin. The shit he does makes me want to take a nap.Comment

I do this shit because I'm too cheap to pay somebody to do it.
I really don't know how much more of this I can do. I am getting old and things take a lot more time than they used to and there are things that I just cannot physically do any more.
I would like to get this house updated and then be done with major stuff. Then I can go to piddling around with little projects like a normal retiree. Ha!I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

Still have to paint the trim but the walls and ceiling are done. I am happy with the way they came out.
We'll get the ceiling fan installed today and I'll be done with the ladder. We can load it on top of my car so that I can return it.
Jack is going to go back to Auburn for a few days today so I need to get a little bit of work out of him today to finish the room. Ha!

Had to get a brace for the damn ceiling fan.
Other than finishing mounting the fan and hanging pictures etc we got it done. Gotta paint the French and louvred doors too, but I'll do that when I get around to it.

Just one more hypothetical CG & Jack conv.
on phone:
CGVT: “You coming back soon?”
Jack: “You painted those louvre doors yet?”
CGVT: “Not yet, no.”
Jack: “Ok, well gives a shout when thats done and i’ll pop back.”
Sorry,, …… varnished louvre doors one time…… the worst job EVER!
Room looking superb 👌👏👏👏"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Jack asked me what project we were going to do next. I told him that we'd see when he gets back. I need a couple of days to recover. Ha!
Moving the TV and stereo really opened up the room and made the seating layout much better, but... Now I'm going to have to run coax cable through the attic and fish it through the wall to get to the other side of the room.
Those damn louvred doors, man.
I brushed one set at our rental and said fuck that and sprayed the rest. There are 5 sets of them in this house. I plan on taking them off and taking them outside to spray them, but I'll probably just brush the ones in this room to remind me that it sucks more to brush them than it does to clean the damn sprayer. Ha!
I also have to figure out how to clean that damn tabby.
Mary is coming home today, so we'll get some stuff back on the walls.
BTW, I should have put a ceiling fan in this room 25 year ago *sigh*
