As promised, we managed to get the bulk of the painting of the new office completed last night. Liz generously volunteered her time to the cause. It turned out that it took us about four hours to get it done.

We had previously painted the windows and ceiling. The drywallers had mudded over some parts of the ceiling which needed to be touched up, but otherwise all we did was put on two coats of color on the vertical walls. They’re tiny walls, too, so it went very smoothly.

I got the unenviable job of putting the light green on the wall that connects the first and second floor through the staircase. Alice and Liz had already claimed the grown-up rollers so I was stuck wielding a 4″ roller on the end of a 8′ extension. That kept us entertained for a solid half hour.

True to form, the very first thing that felt the cool touch of wet paint was my calf. Turned out the back of that tray liner was still wet!
