Apparently if you do drywall repair, you have to put the texture back on the walls or else it will look terrible. I thought I had the perfect solution to our little problem: "orange peel" texture in a can for $14.95. Well, I learned that was not going to cut it (pretty sure I can return that). Sooooo we spent a night taping a plastic tent around our workspace. Our friend Zeke has a painting business and owns all the necessary ladders, plastic tenting, other supplies and most importantly-- he has the expertise. Matt also attached a red rosin paper to the floor ($11), and the fun began. Zeke sprayed the texture on the walls and it was all over in a matter of minutes. (Thanks Zeke!) The next day, after it all dries, I paint the walls. Wouldn't you know it? I am about a smidgen short on having enough paint to cover the walls, so I am forced to buy another gallon at the paint store ($30). I have been sick and run down and am not really feeling up to the job, but Matt has been working so hard, so I am compelled to trudge along and get it done. Coincidentally we run into Janet (cabinet lady) at a random gas station in Denver. She says her cabinets will be delivered in 2 weeks. Sooner than we thought. The race is on!
