Home Improvements
We are not the best when it comes to home improvements. Before Thanksgiving, I decided I wanted to paint the front room, and Martin decided he wanted to paint the floor in his "domain" (read: the room in the basement with a door that is perpetually shut so as to hide the stellar organization of his toys, files, tools, keg, and who knows what else). We bought the supplies for both projects. Three months have gone by. The front room is not even started, and the domain...well...
Martin cleared a corner of the room to see what the paint would look like. He painted that corner and realized he had poured too much paint. Of course, he didn't want to waste it, so he proceeded to use it by painting around everything that was sitting there. So, now there is an inch of old concrete floor around everything, down to a box of files that had been sitting in the middle of the room. If you moved everything out of there, you could probably play hopscotch in the markings on the floor. It's been this way since Thanksgiving.
This weekend, we are taking Friday off, and Monday is a holiday. Our plan is to paint the front room. Between me and everyone who reads this blog, the plan is actually to have Martin spend some quality time with Chloe while I paint the front room. I'll let you know how it goes.
