Sadly, It Won’t Stay Like This

We are painting the basement! Praise Zoraster and Hallelujah on a swizzle stick! Light at the end of the tunnel on the basement remodel.

Two things:

1) I loathe painting ceilings. I think my arms are going to fall off.

2) I have paint in places on my body I didn’t think were accessible to mere spreading primer on the stupid walls.

3) (Yes, I miscounted, yeeesh, it’s late.) When you want paint a room with fresh drywall a dark color, not only do you have to paint it with primer, but that primer needs to be dark. Lucas wants his new room to be a deep red (he says he likes it, I think eventually it’s going to drive him crazy, but that’s just my opinion), so we had to prime his walls with what amounts to sixteen gallons of awesome pink/magenta primer. Check it out. Crazy.

I want to keep them this way, just to torment him a bit. How torturous would it be to be a twelve year old boy and have your walls be pink? “Sorry, Lucas, they were out of red at the Home Depot, I’m out of money and they are going to have to stay this way for a while. Bummer, dawg.”

Maybe I’m not a nice person after all.

Those are essentially un-retouched photos, by the way. I did nothing to the magenta channel in Photoshop nor did I nuke any yellow to make the red pop, I promise. You walk downstairs and his room just glows like a someone set fire to a batch of cotton candy. Awesome does not begin to describe the joy of the current state of his walls.

    Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

     

    Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
