Day 40

Ellen is getting close to a red letter day. She finished painting the kitchen today. She needs to paint the inside of the entry doors and put a second coat on the closet doors. When that's done she will be FINISHED WITH THE APARTMENT PAINTING. She's already looking at colors for the guest bathroom in the house.

They called today about delivering the bed. It will be here Wednesday afternoon.

I made two scores on Craig's list. I got a rug for the large bedroom in the apartment. I also contacted a guy about getting some RG6. It's at a great price. I'll be meeting him tomorrow.

While Ellen painted I did a bunch of little tasks. I measured all the windows so that we can get drapes. I replaced the kitchen light in the apartment with the kitchen light that used to be in the house. Then I replaced the knob on one of the apartment's bathroom doors with one that used to be in the house. I fixed a sticking problem with the same door. Finally I picked up all of the paper in the bathroom and moved all of the stuff back into it.

With a floor and some window coverings the apartment wouldn't look half bad. We can't hide that it's a cheaply built place. However, it looks lightyears better than it did when we bought the place.
