Tiki Tan Day 3

Yeah it is only the start of day 3 and we are already tired of painting. We make our morning trip to Lowe's to buy more paint and supplies....yeah the first day we bought all the gallons of flat paint they had and apparently the delivery truck doesn't come by there because every day since they have still been out. We have switched to Eggshell paint which we will most likely end up buying them out of at the rate we are going.

It is Saturday so The Stroupes are racing at Lowes for Winter Heat, which gives Jeremy a good excuse to get out of a little painting. He went back and forth to the track helping the boys and watching their races, although I will admit he really wasn't gone too much and probably made up for any missed painting later.

We did get a small glimpse of hope today.....when I started painting the first tanning room with the blue color that we had picked I was happily surprised that it seemed to be covering just fine with only one coat. What a relief.....let me tell you I was excited. As soon as Jeremy got back and I shared the good news we quickly starting changing our painting plans.....we really needed to paint more walls blue and less yellow. Which in the end really turned out well.

Once racing was done at Lowe's Stroupes and Dale came over to show off their painting talents....I think they may have been a little timid but they did a great job. Now Dale...he is like super painter, he took to the back wall and before we all knew it he was done with a nice blue wall. Not sure if he is for hire, but if you are looking for some help painting I would give him a call. I think his rates go down if you are a single female mid to late 30's.....haha.

We decided to put some blue in the front area...turned out really nice.


The original plan was to have a whole wall in each tanning room yellow, but since it was taking two coats and the blue only one....we opted for less then half a wall in yellow.
