Well the main wall color is done, 99.9% at least.
We found this really cool paint at Home Depot. It's a speckle paint that is good for metal. So we bought some of this liquid gold, ($9.00) a can and gave it a shot. Took four cans to see what we've done. We figure about 6 more cans should do it. It's like mud coming out of the sprayer and really looks good to decorate the ducts instead of building a box around it to hide it. We just have to get higher on the ladder to paint further.
We've been noodling how and when we're going to pack up Morton Grove and truck it to Chicago. The current plan is to pack on Saturday and Sunday and get a Uhaul on Sunday to move it all. Still haven't started parking the store yet. Maybe our ideas are idealistic and won't work? Maybe we've done this before and know it takes longer to set up than it does to pack. What do you think?
Tomorrow night is to finish the wall, (Jay) and paint white paint on where it belongs (Lucy). We thought about working late and sleeping there on Sunday night so we can get an early start on Monday a.m.. Jay pointed out that one of our camping sleeping bags is keeping the stray cats next door warm. Jay is such a sap, when the weather dipped below 10%, he went out and got a sleeping bag, (rated @ 15 below) and spread it out over the "village" next door. It's still there, he won't take it because "the cats need it". Oh well, the store is only 2 miles from home, so we'll just sleep in our bed.
