Painting the Kitchen

Gram has been wanting to redo her kitchen for a couple of years. Well she has finally done it! The past week she has emptied her kitchen and the tore out all of the cupboards and the counter. When I left this morning it was a pretty empty kitchen and when I came home it was BARE. It was so weird to see the room like it.

Well this evening Scott & I painted the walls for Gram so the whole thing will be nice an new when it is all done. Well we started out just painting but the men tore some of the dry wall so we called dad who had repaired a hole last week to fix the others since they were in spots that would now not be covered by a back splash. That process then moved to removing some old linoleum that was on the walls (?!?!?!). With removing some of the linoleum and plaster that was put over the top of some of it it created some more holes.

Dad needed some more drywall mud  (he had a small jar) so Gram & I went to Home Depot to get a larger bucket (about the 5 lb one). We got home, painted about 1 more wall and dad is out of the plaster and needs more! Gram and I jump back into the car and visit the Depot one more time. The same girl checked us out both times and looked at me like I was crazy when I walked up with a the largest bucket (about 20lbs) when she had checked us out less than 30minutes before with the medium bucket. It was probably a sight to see! Well dad has now used at least 1/4 of that bucket and will use more when he comes back tomorrow to texture part of the walls.

Well by this point in time Scott & my origional goal of painting the kitchen hasn't really happened. We ended the night on doing two coats of paint on two of the walls (where the cupboards will be  put in tomorrow) and the other two walls needing another coat of paint. Tomorrow night those will happen and we are now going to be painting the entry hallway--one has to love how one project leads to about 30 more!
