Finally, paint on the walls

OK - painted. Got one coat of primer on everything second floor - 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, laundry room, a bunch of closets, and the second floor foyer (no stilts or 2x6 plank required). Took 15 gallons of paint. Yes, the house smells.

I have to say, paint spraying is fast, but it is not as fun as I thought it would be (OK, everything is relative remember). Here's a cool thing, it came with a card you're supposed to put in your pocket while you work - thought I'd share the highlights:

"Note to Physician... Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. IT IS IMPORTANT TO TREAT THE INJURY SURGICALLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity... if the injected paint contains acrylic latex and titanium dioxide that damage the tissue's resistance to infection, bacterial growth will flourish... [blah blah]... immediate decompression of the closed vascular compartments... [blah blah]... release the underlying tissue distended by the injected paint... [blah blah]... amputation."

Lovely. Laminated, keep that in your pocket - folds wallet-size - while you paint... just in case... C'mon, I have it memorized after one reading, what's the big deal?? 3000 psi (yes, not 300 psi, 3000 psi) at the nozzle - just don't spray yourself...

Other big news of the day, David arrived (I'll train him up on the sprayer), and Angie and Paul called to let me know they are returning here on Thurs! Finally, somebody to drink this Bud Light! My parents are also arriving on Thursday, so this weekend will employ the entire Ryan Clan - Malo Mori Quam Foedari!
