Paint Day Three

Yesterday was the day of cutting in the paint around the perimeter of the living room.  Boy howdy do I hate doing that.  Much of my time was spent in this position.  Go here to see what was driving us to paint.  Scroll down a bunch, it was a long post.

Today was spent rolling the walls.  Jim does that, I'm just horrible with a roller.

So, the repainting of the living room, filling and dabbing holes in two other rooms is done.  Now we have to wait for the paint guy to get the paint base for the wood trim painting we need to do.  We need it to match the paint left in the house because I do not want to paint out all of window casings on all of the many windows.  There used to be a different style of window covering installed, and when they were removed they did not fill the holes.  So hopefully the paint match will be good enough to not do the entire casing.  Did I mention we really do not enjoy painting?  After that it's one wall in the master closet and the sewing room.  We don't have those paint codes, so we'll end up doing the entire sewing room.  Or we could do an "accent wall."  We do need to do the closet wall so we can put up hooks and be done with it. 

Here is the annual bias report on various magazines.  It's interesting.  Apparently Direct-TV is dumping OAN.  Couldn't happen to a nicer organization.  That will relieve them of about 90% of their revenue.

There was sun today, later on there was a sunset.

I'm linking to an article about the lack of water in AZ.  There is a neighborhood north of Scottsdale (which is near Phoenix) that depends on hauled water.  Some houses had wells, but many have dried up.  Scottsdale owns the water that was being delivered to the neighborhood, and they have said no mas.  The state is in drought, and they're not going to deliver water any more.  Between drought and the lunatic politicians, it's good to be gone.
