Painting
The landlady had a termite inspection now that the rainy season's past. Sure enough, there were some under the house, by the office. So, they sprayed, and ended up removing the old wood paneling in the office (circa 1979 I think it said, by the inscription on the wall "Dona loves Freddy") because the little bugs had climbed up to eat that. Thankfully, not the beams in the wall, though.
That left some ugly walls in desperate need of paint. Ben wanted the job done right, not just done, and to pick the color, so we're painting today. It was a close decision between Robin's Egg Blue and Light Turquoise (really, they're practically the same, the turquoise has just a hint of green when you hold the chips next to each other). The latter won out in the end.
We also took the cottage cheese off the ceiling and painted it white. The room is looking so much better!
We finished the first coat late, so I aim to get pics in the day light.
