Got up at 5:30. As soon as it was light enough, I had an extremely gratifying round of priming. I realized that every stick of door trim for the entire house is primed.

It’s 7:50. Jr is asleep. I’m getting that cold glass of water ready as Gary recommended. You learn the most useful things here.

9:30 – Oil painted a bunch of trim. Miter and router are ready to go. The boy is still asleep in sisters room. The cold water didn’t work. Wait till he gets a load of the compressor. Yeehaa!

Thanks Gary. I’m tired though. Still I keep going. By the time I’m done, I hope to have created my wife’s dream house.

It’s people like you who give me the most help. I want to be a professional looking job. I can’t do that by myself.

I was scheduled for another mishap. I dropped a third of a gallon of oil paint. Half of it gushed out and splattered out about 10 feet. A couple of bushes are far more interesting than they used to be. The paving stones needed a touch up anyway.

Maybe I finish tomorrow. I hope so. I want to get to the living room.

Thought I was at the finis line. There is on half of a bifold door waiting for a coat of oil paint. Well, it won’t get done by itself. Completion will be official tomorrow. I missed my goal. If I ever come up with the dumb idea of doing this stuff professionally, don’t worry. I’ll never be able to price myself competively. I would charge $4000 + materials for a basic bedroom and $12000 for a small hallway. Then, if they want to get fancy, I really start charging. Lol.

At least your pricing is the the realm of making money. Better than the guys out there that want to cut everyone’s throat and then walk out halfway through a job crying they can’t make any money then beg the client for more money. The stories can go on & on & on…..
Don’t beat yourself up on not meeting your deadline. You have done well.
