After all the "hurry up and wait" of buying a house, I find myself back in a version of "hurry up and wait." We want to move into the new place, but logistical problems mean that the painting and carpet-replacement has us at the apartment for a little longer. Not too much longer, but longer. I have been daunted by the 15 foot high ceilings that cause some of the walls to require a ladder to be painted. I did acquire a ladder, but getting up on it has proven to be daunting. I'm not good with heights, so I decided to get an estimate from a local painter. The first one to contact me was a guy from Kassab Painting. He said the amount was usually $150.00 per room or $500.00 for the project I needed. I asked my dad how much a painter should charge for that, since he would know. Then, he says that he will be in Florida on Wednesday and will help me with the high walls. How awesome!
So now, the timeline I'm shooting for has us moving out by the 14th. I hope I can keep to that schedule while also working and planning for my new batch of classes beginning on the 16th!
Anyway, speaking of paint: here is an image of the greatroom, prior to any work I have put in it...

Looking at the Greatroom from the kitchen area...toward the back door.

My vision for the place includes replacing the brown carpet with this:
