All I am going to say is that we definitely need to tape everything off, cause James is like a paint sprayer stuck on full blast when it comes to precision and "not being messy". I just can't wait until it is finished! After applying the first coat of primer, I actually do feel better about the whole project, and do believe that we can do it after all.

Duane - for you I will say 'get the damn painters here fast' but for James - I will say buy a drop cloth and keep up the great work. If you are doing the prime thing already and you have most of it done - keep going. That is the hardest part and the paint goes on much easier and it is forgiving when it comes to brush strokes and runs. You can prime now and wait a while to paint - like when it is cooler outside. I know that the heat must be about to kill ya!! Painting is a lot like work - hard work when it is outside. Keep up the great job that I know you are doing and hold on to that money for another project...buy a drop cloth or two and keep going - the end is near - plus you are getting a good arm,leg and back workout free!!

CNN is back on here today after a few days off air.
