I think I need a weekend from my weekend. My gosh, what a crazy few days.
For some reason, we always find the hard way to do things. Yet we always seem to get it done.
We continued with the next phase of our home improvement project this weekend. The goal was to get two coats of fresh, new paint on the walls and get everything hauled out of the upper level so the flooring folks can come in and do their thing bright and early Tuesday.
Saturday morning the Wife and I both woke up with an intestinal bug complete with nausea, bad muscle aches and other unpleasant unmentionables that come with a lower GI virus. However, we powered through the nastiness and got the first coat of paint on the walls, even though the Wife went to bed at 5:00 PM and didn't emerge again until 7:00 AM Sunday morning.

| The first coat of paint was not the easiest or the most pleasant. Let's just say frequent potty breaks were needed. |
But by Sunday, we both were feeling 100% better and we whipped through a second coat of "Historic Shade Green." We both loved the color and were very happy with the result.

We both felt well enough to go out to eat Sunday afternoon and had a nice fire Sunday evening.
Monday was the grunt work, moving everything from the upper level to downstairs or out to the garage which, along with our camper, will be our living quarters for the next few days.

The upstair looks very empty now. It seems so big without furniture. How can such a large area become so small so fast?

I know no one is interested in the above photos, but I wanted to do a "before"picture. Our upper level won't look like this again. Here's hoping the next phase goes smoothly.
