Construction starts today on my new studio space...

I just go to Home Depot and get one of those disposable Tyvek jumpers.

Interesting plans for the weekend?

The contractor had a very hard commute.

 

[Mark Wein]

Ready for paint!

Apparently my house has never NOT been ugly.

I wish my commute was 42 seconds. At least he'll be easy to find if there are any problems.

It's crazy what was in style at back when...

My family room once had orange paint on the wall. And the kitchen matched.
Not a light shade of orange. Full orange like the fruit orange.

As opposed to the vegetable orange?

That's a good proper color for Socal especially back in the day. better than fake brick ! Fwiw the showertile in my bathroom was originally a dark green, really groovy quite frankly and somewhere along the line someone painted it white. It's peeling in some spots which is why i know it was green at one time. back in the day (like the 50's people were more open to colors I think, now it's all beige

So fucking tired. Plus, the gardener never showed up to tear out our hedges for the contractor to demo our brick so I got to do this too

Long fucking day.

But then the view isn't quite as nice...

 

[DdBob]

is that a tyvek suit ?

 

[frunobulax]

black pants with white paint? rookie mistake.

I gave it a try since i didn't really have any "painting" clothes anymore.

Back to using child labor:

I had to use primer on everything even though I have paint with primer already in it because of the new drywall and the fact that the stucco on this wall and the foundation would have soaked up all of my paint. I'm sick of painting already. Still need to paint the foundation and then do the floor with the Epoxy treatment.

 

[LeftyTom]

suspect brush technique.

Yeah, everybody knows you brush WITH the drywall grain.

 

[Mark Wein]

So tired of working on this floor. At least I can put the epoxy treatment on it tomorrow.

Plus we've had other stuff going on this week:

This is my new waiting room, btw:
