the remaking of a kitchen

murlo came today and primed the ceilings in the kitchen and dining room......the new mud really soaked up the paint....used 1 1/2 gallons. the she painted the ceiling with the matte version of the color we will use on the woodwork.....that took 1 + gallons too. if you read carefully you may figure out that i visited the paint store 3 times this morning. what you don't see is that the first trip was before 8am.....not my usual schedule. murlo said she would be here by 8, and i just had a feeling it would be earlier, so i hopped out of bed and got dressed b/4 7:30; lo and behold....the doorbell at 7:30. some of us were not dressed by that time. :)
