Well into the night...

 ...I painted 22 pieces of 15 foot 5.25" trim and 11 pieces of regular trim at 12 feet each.

Very boring, as you can see:

Blisters, numbness, and other assorted aches and pains...


...but the 3 day job of prepping the floors is complete.  Removing vinyl flooring is
worse than tile and mortar....almost.  My pinky finger on my right hand is still numb
from the jack-hammer like vibrations of the floor scraper.  I must have smashed a
nerve in my finger pretty good for it to still be numb after 24 hours.  The vinyl is like
removing a whole floor of sticker paper that is 10 times as thick as what you can
think of.  Without the tool it would have been next to impossible...

DESTROY to CREATE


So, in the last 5 days we have:

1) Removed all the carpet and carpet pad, including all the freakin' glue >:(
2) Removed all the carpet tack strips
3) Removed all the trim
4) Removed all the tile and mortar (not easy, not fun)
