pretty close to done.

I should always ask how much something is going to cost me. I know this. I have no idea how much Ben is going to cost me when all of this is done, but it know it feels good to have this painted. We are tackling the rest tomorrow. By "we" I mean Ben..I made tasty food, coffee, moved things, handed him things and he did all the ladder work. My back feels better already!

And let me say this..
We did in fact have one rather yucky paint mishap involving a tray that fell offa the ladder and splattered everywhere. I kept my cool, it got cleaned up pretty well, and I am now gazing upwards and pondering what colors need to be augmented, changed or left alone. It does need something for sure as it's all one color of kinda grey-ish green. But this is a big part of it getting done. I have a ladder here and if I can muster the energy I might just paint a few things. I have a feeling we will tackle the access/stair/ladder issue tomorrow. That would be kinda totally thrilling and I would gladly surrender my entire paycheck to my new BFF Ben if not only did we get the paint done, but the access to the loft handled and the twin mattresses up on the deck and all... I really would. Of course, my paycheck is not huge, but I would gladly surrender it for the sake of getting so much closer to completion.

Now to find a disco ball..
