It’s been a week or so since I’ve had a chance to post. Not a whole lot has been happening because I’ve been so busy painting. That may sound like an easy task….and to be honest, it used to be for me since I’ve painted every wall in this house over the last 10 years….but since I started nursing 2 bad knees, crawling around to paint has been difficult to say the least. I can only get so far going up and down on a ladder and then I have to rest. That’s not an excuse…it’s a fact I have to live with now. Boooo. Boo I say! But, the ceiling is done which was the hardest part. The walls will be tedious but much easier than working overhead. The consolation is that the ceiling is probably the most properly prepared surface in this house. You see, when my house was built, apparently they decided to cut corners and NOT prime the walls before painting. That means that now, when I try to paint over the existing paint…no matter how much I properly prep them…the paint will eventually peel off the wall! Perfect…NOT! The ceiling in the kitchen on the other hand has been properly coated, primed and painted. Anyway, because I’ve painted the area the fridge will be going into, it was finally time to move that into place. HOORAY!! Let’s take a look:
It’s time to start the move. Water is hooked up and now the testing begins
We are supposed to run the water for 4 minutes to ensure all of the air is purged from the line. Souvlaki looks on as she supervises the process
Last 30 seconds….all air is purged and water is flowing well. Keftedes now comes in the kitchen to check out what’s going on. 🙂
Keith is so happy that he won’t have to make ice anymore, he decides to give the fridge a hug!
Protective plastic is all removed and fridge is pushed in place. It fits perfectly!
Another step towards completion. I like it. We’ve purchased some new plugs and switches and will start changing those out this weekend. I will also work on more of the painting and another small project. Can you guess what I might use some of this for?:
My Mom gave me a pile of this beautiful lace that I believe my Yiayia made. I think they were originally made for pillowcases, but I have other plans….more on this soon.
Hoping to make more progress this week. Another post soon…….
