My kitchen "touch-up" project has taken on a life of its own. All I needed to do was to paint a few drawers and 3 cabinet fronts that I had neglected to finish several years ago. Jeannie came over and painted it all, and as I may have mentioned I cleaned the hardware in a TSP solution. It looked so good I had to take all the other hardware off the cabinets and clean them to match.
Jeannie put one coat of a high quality paint on the cabinets, and now I think she wants to repaint all of them. I think she will also want to touch up the paint on the walls, which does need it in some places, but it's all going to make the countertop look so dingy I will have to replace it. You can't replace a countertop and then put back the old faucet apparatus.
I wanted to call in two prescriptions to my pharmacy this morning, but find I don't know how to make a simple call on this damn phone! If I hit the phone symbol on the screen it takes me to a place that I can't figure out, which includes a list of past calls made. It's really a good thing I'm not addicted to a phone, but lord help me if my computer gives up the ghost and I have to send an SOS message to someone!
Other than that, I'm fine as can be! My beautiful dog keeps me hopping. We just started out for a walk but it's trying to rain and I don't want to walk in the rain.
I can't rest for too long or I won't be able to get back to work today. So I'll say "so long" and see you again soon.

I am sure hoping for some pictures of those cabinets!
ReplyDeleteI've taken a couple of photos with my new smart phone, but can't figure out how to transfer them into my blog. I can't figure out anything with that smart phone!
DeleteI sure am glad I am not the only one that can not figure out the camera function on my worthless cell phone but at least you have your kids to help you.
ReplyDeleteI do not know if you have HGTV, it features different shows to do with houses and remodeling, house flipping, etc, etc. They say that the best investment you can make is spending money on your kitchen and bathroom because it will give your home an edge when you are trying to sell it.
I used to watch HGTV, but haven't had TV for several years. My kids think putting more money into it now won't get me more when it's up for sale. It's an older model mobile home and those things aren't made all that well to begin with - even the more modern ones. I'm going to sell "As is". The bathroom was remodeled a year or so ago, and is one of the nicest rooms in the house!
DeleteThat ia why I try to avoid home projects:))
ReplyDeleteI had commented on this the other day but I wonder if I forgot to publish. Oh well such is life these days
