Daily Notes 7-5-06
Tried to post Monday, but the system ate my post. Bummer.
Started the big painting project. Have mixed results to post. Ken purchased this cool paint sprayer to do the outside painting with, but we started with the ceilings inside. He used the paint sprayer on the ceilings.
MAN! What a mess! Thank goodness we were using latex as cleaning up afterwards is not as difficult as it would be after oil-based! (small silver lining). We will put the actual paint on with a roller (Ken has decided). We also elected to delay putting the paint on until next weekend as we are both whipped from the up-and-down the ladder from both taping, painting and cleanup (which is still not complete).
The ceiling DOES look MUCH better, though and it has made the whole room appear brighter and cleaner. Only 5 rooms to go 😛
Mom complained that I don’t have enough pictures to look at. I will try to rectify that — lord knows I have plenty of pictures and space. My issue is preparing the photos for the web. I’m very concious that she’s on dial-up and file-sizes are a real issue for her. I want to optimize those pictures and size them. I know PSP has a batch process, but I have not used that too much, so tend to size and compress them one by one — very slow. Maybe Colin has some tips for me. — What do you say, Nephew?
All for now!
Love to all,
Margaret
