So, This is THE ROOM. I thought I would give you all a progress report so you didn’t think it took me a week and a half. to paint four walls. I have finished painting three walls and a ceiling. I ran out of the pictures for the wall which are all reptiles so I had to scramble and find another book I could disassemble. Check out that wall paper. That was the bottom layer of three. I originally thought I could just paste the pictures over the paper…did not work…and don’t any of you dare say I could have told you that(Jason)! so the kids and I spent time peeling off paper until we got to this layer, which is like paint on the wall.. Any way I look at it and think, in 1950 someone actually took the time to hang this, then probably stood back and thought…beautiful.
I know the wall won’t do much for resale value, but we’ll just paper over it, or put up a new drywall, until then the kids will enjoy it and if something gets ripped off or written on, we’ll just find a new picture we like and paste it on!
The floor I just did today, I plan on finishing tomorrow. Ben is going to do all the cuts…We’ll see. If he doesn’t feel like it I just might do it myself. Remember I’m only working on this during nap times and after seven at night. So that’s why it’s taking so long.
The occasional questions have really helped me keep moving towards getting this done, so thanks for that.
Oh do you like the dragon, it’s actually quite big and I will paint it on the wall, that’s just there so I can spare pictures. Once he is painted it will look like he’s coming out of holes or water on the wall. I haven’t decided yet. I think I’m going to put a large one swooping down at him. I asked Charlie what he wanted with the stipulation, that I would listen to everything he had to say and then do what I wanted. He was okay with that. Luckily his ideas are close to mine.
Okay, Enough boring blabber about the room. There it is and hopefully this weekend I’ll get the floor in, possibly the molding, we’ll see.
Oh my Friday night adventure ended at 8:30… I thought that was pretty good. Have great night. Ang

Looks like a LOT of work! No wonder it is taking quite some time! RYC: I am studying to become a Veterinary Technician. If I work with a Large Animal vet I will be working with Large Animals and if I work with a small animal vet, I will work with small animals. If I work with a exotic animal vet, well, I’m sure you get it! lol I am being trained to do everything for animals except perform surgery(I can assist, do the actual anesthesia), diagnose, and prescribe medication,(I can administer medication and fill prescriptions). Vet Techs are essenially a nurse, radiologist, anesthetist, dental technician, responsible for client education, etc.. all rolled into one.
