Thought I would get more done, but have run out of vacation time. Hoped to get the bedroom painting finished, but after deciding to put primer on all the walls, trim and ceiling, I’m way behind where I thought I’d be. However, when it’s done, my bedroom will be spectacular!

Both Thursday and Friday were taken up with a few issues involving friends and family…resulting in not as much time available for painting as I had hoped. Additionally, the weather continues to be extremely hot. The sloped part of the bedroom ceiling at the front of the house has no attic/crawl space and no insulation between the ceiling and the roof. Tonight when I tried to put primer in that area the paint bubbled and began to flake off as I pulled the roller over the first layer! That’s when I realized it was time to stop for the night.

And so I’ll head back to work in the morning to the piles of mail on my desk. At least I’ll be in air conditioning all day, and I’ll do small amounts of painting in the evenings for the next few weeks as well as some on the weekends. And then I’ll have another week off at the beginning of August when I can finish up all that still needs to be done.
