Blisters In The Sun

Jaclyn has blisters on her fingers. Ouch.

Home Depot has failed us on the paint frontier and we have one last option before we will have to hire a painter to redo significant portions of the homestead. To wit, we are trying to match the color that is on a majority of the walls in order to do some touch up work, but have thus far been unsuccessful. Even the special "match your color computer" spit out something just a little too dark, yet oh so noticable. Grrr.

Frustration still abounds. Everywhere you look something needs to be done to get the house ready. Even after logging hour after hour after hour our house looks like a disaster area. I guess the good news is the checklist is dwindling, but ever so slowly.

I'm pretty sure that every machine that is designed to 'match your current color' creates a shade that is off just-so enough ON PURPOSE so that you have to come back and buy at least 3 or 4 different cans of paint in efforts of getting something that's a better match. My folks had a hell of a time just trying to match a plain beige that'd been on their walls for years - beige!!! It shouldn't be rocket science, and yet...

Good luck with all the home improvements!

Our house always looks best just as we sign it over to someone else...

The way it looks right now, we seriously need to consider moving!

I feel your pain...we still have a long list of a lot of little things to do to the house. It sometimes seems like it will never all be done!
