Ellen spent the day as a painting fool. She worked a good eight hours or more on the bathroom. She's got it almost done. When she finishes the doors the apartment will be finished. This is a big accomplishment. Except for some help I gave her on the living room and hallway she painted the whole apartment her self.
I had a crappy day. I started out trying to finish painting the table. Apparently the paint I put on reacted with the existing paint. The result was a surface covered with rough bumps like sandpaper. So instead of painting I sanded.
I called the home warranty place about the dishwasher. It's going to cost $60 to have them send someone out to look at it. The fine print says I might have to pay for parts also. Some warranty. I also called a guy to pick up the washer. He didn't want to.
Then I tried to install the flooring that I bought last Spring in the apartment attic. The 4x4 sheets wouldn't fit through the attic access so I had to cut them in half. By the time I got that done it was hotter than hell in that attic.
Then I decided to do something "easy". I got out the lawnmower to finish up a section by the back gate. I got about 1/4 done when the mower blade drive belt slipped off. I spent 2 hours struggling to get it back on. I thought I had it on correctly, but I was wrong. I got a little more mowing done before the belt self destructed. Now I have to buy some ramps so I can load the mower on the truck to get it fixed.
The only thing that went without a hitch was putting away the speaker shipping boxes. I'm disgusted.
