The Project Continues...

We kept working on the upstairs room today. But first....














I took a nap with little cat. This was a couple nights ago.


















Gaea and I went to Gary and Joseph's party. We had chicken and beer and rice and salad and bread and brownies and ice cream.


















Doesn't Gaea look cute in her red dress?


















Back to the project. After a leisurely breakfast we went upstairs and got to work. We scraped as much paint off the floor as we could. We scraped the walls. We spakled the walls. I took out a light fixture. The ceiling is only about 6'6" so I knock the light bulb out with my head. Gaea is a master spakler.














The ceiling was covered in star stickers. I scraped them all off.


















Once we finished the spakling, we had lunch and got ready to go to home depot for more supplies. Gaea called Brian. We got a drink at all city coffee. I had Blackberry soda. Gaea had a cream soda (with straws). Brian had an iced chai. Then went to uwajimaya and got dinner food. Flank steak, swiss chard, mustard greens, yukon gold potatoes, yams, mushrooms. Then we went to home depot. Gaea nearly had the life sucked out of her. Luckily we made it out.


















We got a special treat at uwajimaya. Yum...


















They really glow.




































Then Gaea started making dinner. I started the grill.


















The cat watches the backyard. The coals are ready so I have to go now.
