So it's not much of a project, but I did have a box of stuff to mail to my mother, and another box of stuff to mail to my daughter. I got those mailed yesterday, yay!
However, it being the first of February, it turns out most of the folks in my area also needed to mail stuff, so it took around 45 minutes to get through the post office. I ended up home at 7:00 with freezing weather already here, and hose bibs unwrapped. Got that done, and started the pool pumps, so another 30 minutes gone there. Then, it was time to work on my project: the media room.
We had pulled everything requiring two people out of the room on Sunday. Now it was Tuesday night at 8:00 and still had a bookcase and a few boxes of loose ends in the room. Got that handled, the room is now empty. Pulled the picture hangers and such out of the wall, and talked with the wife about primer and paint, which was not really in my original schedule. But, if she can put some paint on for me, that will really help the final project results.
So, today's plan is for the wife to pick up primer on her way home and put one coat on, we'll spackle anything she discovers, then try to get a second coat on tomorrow. The paint color will be cranberry or something similar, so one coat of paint Friday night, and one Saturday morning should cover. Once I get home we'll go together to Lowes and select the flooring and paint color. I'll pull the carpet out tonight, and figure out where the joists are based on the nail pattern in the floor. I wont cut the floor now until Saturday when it warms up a bit.
That's the plan for the next few days. New furniture arrives on the 8th, so everything needs to be done by then.
