Bernd & Jodi

We made some more progress on the house today, we took yesterday off to go see a play with some of Jodi’s family. The first thing I did when I got there today was get the Internet set up. We can’t go without that! I also set up one of our TVs and one of the DVRs.

Today we did more prep work on the main floor and stair area for painting. I worked on filling in cracks and dents and stuff with spackle while Jodi worked on taping and taking off the outlet and switch covers. A few days ago I bought a sanding block thing to use to sand the spackled areas, that worked out sooo much better than sandpaper!

We had a few visitors this evening as well. Jerusha stopped by on her way home from work, she helped out a little while she was there by taking down some of the blinds and by helping clean some nasty stuff in the kitchen. Aimee also stopped by, she just lives across the street. It was nice to see both of them and they like our place and what we are planning to do. Our realtor, Ken, also stopped by. He wanted to see if he could get the wall switch for our fireplace working, currently we have to turn it on with the knob under the fireplace. Not a big deal that it doesn’t work, but sure is nice that he wants to help out!

We also went to Home Depot and bought some paint! We got Harvest Brown Behr Premium Plus Interior Eggshell Enamel. We had them mix up 3 gallons of it, we’ll probably need more before we’re done. We plan to at least get a touch-up bottle of it later. We also got some Extra White paint to do some touch-up some of the trim and we bought a couple of small step ladders, another paint brush for the trim, and some more tape. We have gone through almost 2 rolls of tape so far!
