Home Improvement: Hooterville
The beginning of the end
The hideous lime green floor’s days are numbered. That’s the kind of doom I can get behind.
Rob came by today and started prepping the floor. I have to admit that if I did the painting, I would just slap on the new paint and hope for the best, thus carrying on the grand tradition of slapdash painting jobs in my house.
But that’s not the Rob way.
He fixed the many screws whose heads were peeking out above floor level, scraped it down and sanded it.
Next, he filled in the many dirt-trapping holes, and when that’s dry, he’ll primer and paint it with the floor paint I bought a few months ago. Notice how I got right on it.
He’ll have to find a way to keep the curious kittens out of the way. It will be interesting to see that.
Once the foyer is finished, he’ll do the bathroom floor, which is tiny and weirdly shaped. Maybe it will dry faster.
