the remaking of a kitchen

today we returned to the business of painting as we have a woman coming next week to prime and then paint the kitchen and dining room ceilings. we have a couple of walls to paint, so i figured if we did them now we don't have to be quite so careful about getting paint on the ceiling. she will be covering it all anyway. not that i am going into sloppy mode, but i can lose that obsessive part and just paint away. i did about half of the priming this afternoon and then decided to quit until we remove an upper cabinet door so i can do that close detail work without adding paint to the door.
