mr_bassman put in a sterling day (without me) and finished both the caulking of gaps AND a coat of paint (actually, I got home just as he started painting, so I did all the roller work). He only just finished the cutting in at 11pm.
And the good news? We'll check tomorrow, but the white undercoat/sealer and one coat of Antique White USA (the choice of most, apparently) seems to be enough and a second coat of paint won't be necessary.
Of course, the achievement has gone to his head, and now he wants to sand the floor before we put the furniture back.
Oh well, it means we'll have access to the dishwasher, sink, crockery and cutlery while he hammers in the nail heads (he loves hammering). and then we'll have a more beautiful kitchen, so what's to hate?
There's no rain forecast until Friday, so I guess we have until then to sort out an alternative location for the free MDF cabinets that started this current batch of madness and are still sitting outside on our lawn (under tarps and on boards)

Date: 2009-01-13 04:03 am (UTC)Hubby & helper are down at work prising up nails and staples from the carpet, then hammering in nails that secure the boards. I did a couple of attempts at prising before I was sent away.
