grunt labor
that’s what i’ve felt like this week. i guess it makes up for the three weeks of sloth from being sick. i started saturday with a good four hours to clean out the bathroom and tape everything off. sunday turned out to be unproductive but i spent my lunch hour monday drawing lines and then seven hours monday night painting. tuesday night was another seven hours of painting. yep, that’s nineteen hours to paint a bathroom and small hall. nineteen hours of MY time, that doesn’t include the five or six hours that hubby pitched in. so really that’s twenty-five man-hours on this one, small project. i never expected it to be such a monster. last night, i scrubbed down both bathrooms top to bottom. and we did some general picking up to prepare for our company this weekend. i feel much better about the matter.
as for the bathroom, i think things came out beautifully, all things considered. it sure as heck should look good after nineteen hours! the blue is a little brighter than i thought it would be but it’s growing on me. no matter what, it looks a thousand times better than it did. once we get the bedroom painted, it’ll really look complete.
