Manual Labor

I decided after I finished painting the guest bathroom over the weekend that I am not cut out for manual labor. At least not painting. First of all, I woke up (was woken up) by 8 am with a solid hangover from celebrating a birthday for one of my fellow coaches. I felt great. Something about shots, dark beers, and late night Wendy's makes a man not feel his best.

Candace took the dogs on a walk and had me clean the shower in the master bathroom as well as the vanity. I nearly passed out from the fumes twice. It was a rainy day so after some much needed H2O and food I made the decision to paint Connor's bathroom. Man that was a stupid idea, but turned out to be perfect timing as we are gone almost every weekend over the next month.

I had to make a run to Lowe's to get some more rollers for the bathroom and a much needed Orange Gatorade. I came back and started taping the bathroom. Which totally sucked. I never thought the taping would end. There were millions of corners, seams, and places that had to be taped. Once the taping was done I began painting. Candace and I agreed (she told me the color we would use) on "milk chocolate." Painting a white wall with brown paint is not easy as the little places that don't get fully covered are REALLY visible. That drove me crazy. So here it is Monday night and I still have touch up work to do and I just know I am missing some spots. Ugghhh...

The color is really nice. Candace has picked out some nice blues to go with the brown. One of the benefits of painting the small bathroom is I could climb and walk on everything. The vanity, the toilet, the tub, and the ladder. I felt like Spider-Man. I only almost fell 3 times. I do feel rewarded in the end, but think I will hire someone to paint our rooms in our next house. Playing Xbox 360 all day to get rid of a hangover would have been a lot more fun.

Sunday, our game was canceled again due to the large amounts of rain from the day before. Which meant Candace and I were able to go to Rusty Rudder and watch UNC win another ACC Tournament title giving them the #1 seed in the East Region for the NCAA Tournament and the most ACC Tournament wins of all time. That was a good day.

Pictures of the finished bathroom to come later.
