November 12: last of the painting - for a while 😳

 Last wall: Aruba blue. It’s still wet when I took the photos. Again, the colors are better in person. 🤩  

The Office

November 11, 2023: 4 days behind

 LouAnna became very sick and slept from Tuesday at 6:45pm until basically Saturday at 9am. 😮‍💨🤧😴  That put us a bit behind schedule with the painting. But today, with proper ventilation, a painting mask, and frequent breaks, we painted Rachel’s room. These colors are not photographing correctly at all but are awesome in person! Light green and a light lavender. 😍

We have two trees and plants/mulch and sod (in the front) and seed everywhere else. 🤩

November 5th: Painting, hot tub, boxes, "flu"

Each evening after work, we'd drop off and unpack a load of boxes at the new house and go back to the rental house and load the car for the next day.  Mostly kitchen, bath and closets since those can be unpacked right away and we can reuse the boxes again for another load.

Chris set up the inflatable hot tub and it's now up to temperature so we can use that in the evenings for our achy, aging bodies.

Friday morning, Home Depot came back out and finished setting up the gas range and dishwasher and they look great!

Saturday, LouAnna finished painting the laundry room (just needs the white trim installed) and then started on the office.  LouAnna trimmed out and Chris rolled/painted 3 of the walls but left the accent wall since it'll be a different color.  LouAnna was exhausted and started to feel badly so we called it a day.  

Poor ventilation resulted in LouAnna getting Painters Flu. We didn't even know that was a thing.  She has a sore throat, body aches, headache, runny nose and occasional cough.  She's been resting 90% of Sunday while Chris ran a load of boxes to the new place. Random things are ending up in random boxes but it all has to get to the new house eventually so, who cares?!  We are taking our time and letting Two Men and a Truck get the furniture and big stuff on November 18th.
