Home Work

I haven't had much time to play this week because I am literally knee deep in paint. I've been putting coat after coat of white on the stair risers which is a tedious endeavor to say the least. I've also been putting another coat of black on the wrought iron railing.

I watched a lot of videos before I got started and I'm glad I did because this little roller is a game changer. I hope it works as well on the soon to be dark gray treads as it has on the risers. 

On top of all that "fun" we sprung a leak in the cedar closet under the stairs this week. It's where the water softener lives and where the plumbing for the washer and dryer run. It's a terrible set up with open pipes that will back up from time to time. I insist on keeping the space open so I can monitor it but The Mister will pile stuff up in it whenever I am not looking. Needless to say it was packed full of junk that all had to be pulled out and cleaned and stored somewhere else until I get this place disinfected and dried out. Mold is a four letter word around here and nothing gets me more hysterical than finding the least little bit of it anywhere.
