I 'escaped' this morning with the dogs at 7:15am to get them out of the house and to Doggie Day Care. The painters were planning to arrive at 7:30am to finish up the job in the kitchen, tv room and master bathroom. They did a lot of the painting yesterday but it was too dark to take any pictures as the canned lights were still taped over since they painted the ceiling. The smell of paint lingered all evening so we opened some windows so that we could sleep and not get overwhelmed by the fumes.

So this afternoon after I got home from work with the dogs in tow - I found our kitchen & TV Room finished. Although it may not be very noticable, we actually changed the paint color of the kitchen and TV Room. The new color is 'Paprika' and it has a little more orange to it. Gary likes to call it 'Reddish Tan'. We held up the swatches for the new cabinets and granite counters and we think it is going to look great. The 'accent' wall where the Coca Cola sign hangs has been changed from a forrest green to a khaki green.

We kept the color the same in our master bathroom. We really liked our Canyon Grey River Rock paint and thought it works well with the tile that we will be using in the shower.

Outside, Travis and Rob with Ideal Building worked on the framing of the garage and by the of the day had finished putting plywood on the exterior of the garage. By the end of this week, the trusses should be up on the garage (or at least started).

There is no work scheduled for tomorrow (and possibly Thursday) so Lucy and Abbey get to stay home with Gary. Olivia at Tails of the City said that Abbey should be VERY tired tonight as she found a new playmate and played ALL day long.

Time for dinner and then off to some post election gatherings...
