New Art on My Wall

Yesterday was the day that workers came to the house to fix up all the things after the one year date of purchasing the house. There were things like fixing the air flow of the upstairs, patching/painting, and tightening up of a ceiling fam. The front walk way had to be redone so they brought in a crane and ripped out the concrete and poured new stuff. It was quite impressive to see the crane pick a part the concrete right from the ground and so close to my house.

The painting guys were great. They actually patched up and painted many additional spots they did not have to. They fixed areas of caulking and dents in the walls that was a result of our wear and tear and not as a result of the builder or house settling. I was ever so grateful.

And wouldn't you know it. Today as I hurried down the stairs with a full cup of coffee I slipped and threw coffee all over the walls that were so nicely repainted. Yes, in this house that is called "a Doooo-Lin!" I couldn't have done this YESTERDAY before it was repainted. I had to do it today. Not even 24 hours later. Sigh.

Well, at least:
a) I wasn't hurt
b) the carpet has stain guard so that cleaned up easily
c) I didn't break my coffee mug 'cause its the one my friend Cat gave me as a wedding gift

I tried wiping up the stain but there's still a faint stain. Oh well. Its my Jackson Pollock moment on the wall.

Who doesn't love Jackson Pollock?

Did the workers leave you any extra paint?
