The day awakened slowly, but became bright and burned off the fog by 9:30 or so. I thought it might be a good day to go get some of the material at the church, and called Amy to see if her nice husband was available for today. I got no answer, and they don't have an answering machine, so I figured I'd do my own things today.
I went up to work in the hut. I found some (a gallon) of a warm, peachy beige, which I decided to use on the walls in the bathroom, and it's terribly smooth. I sanded the walls, and wiped them with a soft, clean cloth. I tool all the nails and screws out, took down some shelves which had been over the toilet, and sanded all the doors. There are three doors to closets in the bathroom, not counting the two small doors in the vanity under the sink.
I removed the light cover, so I could clean it and not get paint on it, and removed the two bulbs that extended out over the end of the fixture, so I would still have some light to work with.
It was becoming a bright, pleasant day. I lit in painting, and the color is so pretty. It's not all white. I'm leaving the closet doors, including the ones in the vanity, pure white enamel, which will give some color contrast. The beige will keep the lightly stained fixtures from looking so dark. I'm thinking of using a wall paper border to accent the area where walls and ceiling meet.
The phone rang, and it was Amy's husband wanting to go work (2:00), so I told him I would pick him up in about 45 minutes. We drove down to Knoxville, and got a truck load of Celotex ceiling material, a lot of light fixtures, wome electrical wire, a Christmas tree, and some white vinyl siding. All of this came from the little building the church wants torn down.
I'm going to use the Celotex on the ceilings in my hut (at least the ceilings in the clostes), some of the paneling scraps for repair projects, and the wire will come in handy for adding plugs, lights, and all sorts of other projects where you don't need large runs of wire.
The white vinly siding will be very well used, as most of it is brand new (in a weathered box) in a shed beside the building. We're even saving the thin styrofoam insulation material off the sides of the building. Almost everything will be used for some other purpose.
I gave some window panels to a neighbor of the church who'se mother-in-law paints country scenes on the glass. I'm always glad to pass something along to make it useful.
We stopped at Krystal on our way home for supper, and ran into Don Disney. I hadn't seen him in a long time. We talked a while, and I gave him my card.
I got home, parked the truck, and got in the house. I'll un-load tomorrow, when it's daylight, and I won't be so apt to fall all over things. I'm tired.
Off to bed.
