While Reg is finishing the last bits and pieces of the kitchen cabinets I have started on the painting of the Utility / Laundry room. There is so much prep work - which is no fun at all. The walls have to be sanded and vacuumed first, then painted with "Kilz It" so that the paint can adhere to the vinyl wall paper and foam ceiling. Here I am painting over the "Kilta It" on the ceiling with "Ceiling White". Sydney and I picked out a nice green color - but Reg didn't like it - so I had it tinted to a different shade - still no success with Reg - then I added a pint of white to the gallon - Reg says he will live with it. They really know me well at the Home Depot Paint department. Yes - The pictures tell it all - I am doing a balancing act on the Ladder and the Washer and Dryer. Yesterday I fell on a paint bucket - what a mess to clean up - Short, plump Grandmas can really do a number on a plastic paint bucket. Yes, I do use a small roller - I don't have the strength to hold up a big roller without trembling - so the little roller is perfect for me.
