Cinderella

Yes, I feel like Cinderella of the construction trade -

Here's what I was doing last week. Finishing up polyurethening the 197 boards. (See can on the right.)

Here's where they went - (that's Super Hubby 25 feet up)


Then I used a dark mahagony stain on some 6" beams (see stain can on the left in top picture) - like this -


Here's where the beams went - oops, forgot to take a picture.....see above ceiling - where the seams are, about a foot from the lights, imagine these beams over them.....in three places down the ceiling. I'll take some more pictures when I can lift my hands to hold the camera!

Last night, I painted the inside of my craft room door chocolate - well, actually it's Betsy Ross House Historic Color - which happens to look like chocolate pudding. As a matter of fact, the paint was a one coat covers Valspar - and it looked amazingly like chocolate pudding just before it's set. Ashley aka The Princess suggested that this would be a very good diet aid....it looks like pudding only without the calories. She neglected to take her reasoning down to the tastebud level....I declined to have a taste to see if it had chocolate pudding flavor....my combining cooking and painting has only ventured to cornmeal so far....

Update and hopefully some more pictures tomorrow!
