1st coat

I have started to paint in the house. It's taking awhile, but it's coming along. I really think that it has given the house more character and cleanliness at the same time. I'm not sure that I am 100% sold on one of the colours, but it seems complimentary to the brown that I have chosen, so I don't know whether or not I want to change things.

I also want to wait until I post any pictures of the rooms. I would really like to do a before and after type of analysis. Since I have not bought any furniture for the living or dining rooms yet, I do not want to post the pictures for that reason.

Painting is a slower process than I had anticipated. This house had many scratches and dent in the walls, so it took awhile to try to mud and sand the walls. It's more in the waiting for things to dry, but it makes the nights go by a little quicker when I can work for a little bit each night and then go to the gym or do some other house chores.

The other night I got a lot of help and I am very thankful for it. Beer currency works wonders except when you make someone work overtime. I'm now at the point where 90% of the cutting is done and 80% of living room and dining rooms have at least one coat of paint.
