I’d be wagging my tail too, if I had one.
I have gotten so much done (even though I’ve stayed two days more than I planned). Enough time to work & hang out with grandma (my Dad’s mom) and her new puppy on the farm. She said she bought it for Uncle Dale because he needed a hunting buddy – that is yet to be determined. Gracie at 4 months loves to retrieve sticks and balls so it’s at least in her genes to be a good farm dog.
Another reason why moving back to the county will be welcomed. Grandma has said time and again that she “can’t see, can’t hear but is otherwise in perfect health” but I’m thankful to know I’ll be near again soon even if just to escort her to Sunday school class.
When I got back from my Colorado ski trip, I spent a few long days at the cottage. I finished up trim pieces and the range hood and started to prime everything.
After the priming, I used my new HomeRight Finish Max HVLP Paint Sprayer and sprayed the built-in and lower cabinets with enamel in BM Hale Navy.
After covering the upper cabinets, I sprayed the lowers.
And then covered the lower cabinets (that part not pictured) and sprayed the upper cabinets with enamel in SW
While waiting for cabinets to dry, I mixed primer & texture and tried to cover the walls in the living, dining, and kitchen. Although it makes the space look much lighter and bigger, it revealed how much more caulking, spackle, and trim pieces still have to install. Yea.
I’m heading home tomorrow but I’ll be back in a couple weeks to continue the journey. Gracie will be excited to see me (must remember to bring some used tennis balls back).
With love, DK
