Good plan, terrible execution. Painting has proved to be extremely tedious. On Friday, we managed to get the living room painted (pictures to come in a later post), and that was about it. Kendra also finished some touch-up trim painting. But we definitely hit a low point on Friday. I went with my brother to pick up the duct work to finish that job, and the local hardware store doesn't carry the pieces we needed. That burned a good 1 1/2 hours. On top of everything, Max decided that he didn't really care for the lack of attention he was receiving, and had a near-meltdown. By the end of the day on Friday, we were ready to burn the house down.
But then Saturday came, and we remembered that we had tickets to the Missouri football game of our lifetime.
Your 2007 Heisman Trophy Winner, Chase Daniel.The game was a blast, with Mizzou winning 36-28 to grab the #1 ranking in the country.
Our spirits buoyed by the big win, we were able to bounce back a little bit on Sunday. We've knocked out a lot of painting, installed a ceiling fan, and have a good plan to devote some solid hours this Friday/Saturday. We'll post some pics later this week to show the before/after on the painting.

There's something about a long holiday weekend, a longer to-do list, an oversized reno project, an undersized budget, and a lack of do-it-yourselfer skill that brings on the low morale. My husband and I crashed this past weekend--could hardly drag our carcasses around to do what needed doing.
