Texture and trim

It's September! One month and 3 days until the finish date!

Richard spend the 3 day weekend "laboring"- he painted the primer on all the trim areas and doors. Today they added the texture to the dry wall. It's smelly, but will hopefully dry soon so that Richard can begin the task of painting. The kitchen and dining area needs to be painted prior to next week when the cabinetry comes in. We learned at the paint store today that all the textured areas (everything) needs to be primed before painting. So we have a big task at hand. And by "we" I mean Richard, since apparently fetuses and paint don't mix. We have a bunch of gallons of paint in our garage ready to go:

1 gallon of green for Owen's room (opened and mostly done)

1 gallon of satin white trim pain for Owen's room (opened and mostly done)

2 gallons of semi-gloss white trim paint

2 gallons of good (trim) primer

4 gallons of wall/ceiling primer

3 gallons of ceiling paint

2 gallons of green for the front room

3 gallons of yellow for the kitchen dining room.

Also prepped in the garage are our light fixtures and ceiling fan that arrived last week. Our outdoor light fixtures and pulls are ready to go, sitting downstairs. We picked out slate tiles for the fireplace, and new house numbers for outside. I believe the shopping part of this adventure is winding down (once I figure out window treatments).
