I used to get $10.00 an hour for doing this...

My uncle came to my house today to help me paint one of the bedrooms.  Painting is something he doesn't mind doing, and since he's retired, he likes to pitch in and help.  He tackled the ceiling, and I painted the walls, and it turned out quite well.  The walls could probably use another coat, and I still have to paint the inside of the closet, but the worst of it is done.  I'll need to buy carpet for that room and then I can "move" into that room and establish it as my bedroom.  I'm debating on whether I should keep the cats out of it or not.  On the one hand, I enjoy a furry body (or four!) on the bed at night, but on the other hand, I could do without the fur. 

Decisions, decisions.  And expenses, expenses!

By the way, several years ago, I helped handyman brother on two painting projects and earned $10.00 an hour to do so.  At least my uncle didn't hand me a bill for his time!  *laughs*

Same here! We never could deny them in the long run, though. I remember one night long ago, when the kitties had been successfully trained to sleep in their own beds & baskets in the living room, and my husband said "Do you think they're too cold out there?" (LOL! He's such a big softie!) and we joyfully brought them back in with us and it's been one big furry pile ever since...

I think it's more of the not wanting fur all over my good clothes. I typically sit on my bed in the morning while getting dressed, and I can't lay my clothes out on my bed. I don't know. We'll see. They will definitely be shut out during the day when I'm gone.

Just a boring old off-white. I figure I can always decorate with color. *nods*
