Ceilings, walls & floors

Saturday was "Wash the walls and patch the holes in the walls and ceiling" Day.
Yesterday was "Prime the ceiling" Day (as well as "visit the Museum of Glass in Tacoma and eat copious quantities of Pad Thai" Day).
Today was "Wash more walls, apply 'Kilz' where necessary and paint the walls" Day.  You probably thought it was Monday.  Ha ha.. you would have been wrong.
Today may also be move the "hot water heater so I can paint behind it and we can put flooring under it" day.
Tomorrow will be "Put another coat on the walls" Day and hopefully "Seal the floor" Day.
Then there will need to be:
A day for skim coating the floor.
A day for laying the new flooring.
A day for building a closet, and of course painting it.

I'm getting a little punch drunk.   As I was painting the walls today I got a little silly.  The previous color of the walls could best be described as the color of dried up orange sherbet.  You know - how it darkens and loses it's orangie-ness unevenly after it sits in the freezer for two or three years?  (Not that I've ever done that).  The new color is a creamy color called distant white.  It looks much better and provides a nice contrast to the old color for writing words on the wall.
