I arrive to find Charlie already well into his chocolate wall (the pros had already done the ceiling the same color a couple days earlier) and Jeanette rolling out the creamy colored walls.
So I get there and ask "what can I do" I was ever so elequently asked....."since you're so tall, would you mind cutting in?" As I looked up at the 11 foot ceiling I noticed the 10 ft ladder the ceiling painters had left and thought..what the fudge.."OK". So I cut in as long as my arms would stand up above and as long as my asscheeks could stand sitting at the baseboard. All in all in a few short hours, the first coat was done and the cutting was near complete. All to meet back tomorrow for more latex based fun.
Sunday 07/22/07:
Ric has "agreed" to let me go back to help finish the painting. Ric has no need for latex in the paint form in his life so has agreed to do the Mamosa brunch and be the Sunday St Pete Times 'lector' while we all work. I had visions of those that rolled cigars while being read to. I had also asked him to take a couple pix of the progress.....evidence below that Mamosas do nothing for following instructions....but the ladder pic is kinda cool....Ric sleeping ....not as cool.
Any whoooo......the painting continued with Nick rolling out the second coat on the walls, while Charlie finished the second coat of chocolate and I finished the last of the cut-in.
