There IS a reason they put instructions in...

As you may know by now I am in the process of cleaning up the house, tossing things out, packaging things to sell, packaging things to give away, acquiring and staining new furniture, building shelves, painting the interior of the house, having the roofing replaced, having gutters installed, adding a garage, etc, etc, the list goes on and on.  I have pretty much finished one bedroom, except one closet interior needs repainting, a dresser and computer desk need to be stained darker. I have since moved to the Kitchen, this room was the worst of all and the one everyone sees. Except for the doors to the individual rooms, the basement door, and the closet the painting is done. Sure there are a couple spots that need a little touch up but they are minor. The biggest item for the kitchen now is painting the cabinet doors and adding new hardware. the ceiling is done in Serene Sky as will be the doors.

The walls are in Bliss Blue and they are done
the trim and cabinet doors Cerulean , which I am in the process of doing.

Last night at 3am I finished putting up the back splash, "Antique Silver"


left and right of this area it goes to a single tile height. This morning I woke up at 2:30 and by 3 AM I was painting four cabinet doors and painting a half round molding with pattern to go across the sink area to tie the two sides together.

Using a collection of cup-hooks I hung the cabinet doors in the basement then shot them with my spray gun. the basement has florescent bulbs, so I shot a door and realized it was the wrong color paint, I unscrewed the reservoir from the gun and set brought it upstairs to clean it out and grab the correct paint. entering the incandescent light area I noticed it was the correct color so I went back down to shoot the first four cabinet doors I had hanging. When walking around a basement floor, socks are not the best things to wear, there is about 55 years of sawdust, wood chips, metal chips, and other things lying around, but this night having a sharp object puncture my skin was not an issue. After shooting the doors I again removed the reservoir and went up stairs to wash out. Arriving back on the ground floor I noticed something, a modification I had made without knowing it, the new kitchen flooring, the whitish gray new kitchen flooring had received a tad bit of blue paint. Quite a tad bit actually and in the shape of human feet...lots of them...in the kitchen...down the hall..into the bathroom. It seems someone had spilled a little paint on the basement floor then walked through it. Socks it turns out absorbs paint and holds it well. It turns out that in the instructions it says to release the pressure in the reservoir to allow the paint to run into it from the gun.

See.
