Looking the away from the kitchen.
See the water line on the wall?

This is the Kitchen right after the "water incident."

There was 30" of water, about belt deep on the guy on the left. 

It is easy to see the ceiling color. The accent color is over the stove cabinets to the right. The only wall color shown is over the sink, behind the light.
This also shows what the cabinets should look like and how much I have to do yet.
The new tile floor will be much darker than this tile.

painting done

This week I finished painting the great room.

It is a good sized room with a cathedral ceiling. The walls are not big, but I had to put on a texture over the sheetrock and paint them all.

For colors I choose Interface Tan for the ceiling; Sumptuous Peach for three walls and Quiet Corral for the 4th, which is mostly covered by a loft and kitchen cabinets. What is amazing is that I choose all of the colors by myself, without help from my family.

The few who have seen it say it came out good.

I told the guys at the paint store that when this was done I might not see them again. A good paint job lasts close to 20 years, and I am not sure I will!

Painting can be messy, and I am good at that part.

Fortunately all of the floors come out, so I did not have to be too careful.

pollen

I woke up this morning with sniffles and snorts.

Looked at my iPad and discovered that today is a very high pollen day! So I dug through stuff and found pills. Haven’t taken any since last spring, which is good.

Rain, pollen and a skipped happy pill and make it a rather dreary day.

Glad we don’t get a lot of those combination days.

Yesterday I spent some time with a lady friend. We always have a good time together, and this time was no exception. I don’t think I allergic to her! That would not be a good!

Once I had a friend who told me he wanted to own a red car before he died.
But he died and never had his red car.
There is a moral there somewhere!
