Viona's Room

The arrival of Viona caused a move in our timetable to remake Gilmyer since her room was beset by peeling paint and falling wall paper.  To work.  The steamer took care of the wall paper and the scraper did the rest.  A few days later and the room was almost ready for Viona.  She did help with the trim, but it was rather hot and open windows had no effect, so she asked to put on the ceiling fan.  A few more strokes of the brush to touch up and the job is done.  One last swathe above a window and done.  I turned back into the center of the room .... whack, right in the side of the head came the fan.  Those who were down stairs became very afraid at the sounds that came next .... but at least we were finished with all but the clean up.  Vacuum, roll up the tarps and son of a .... the paint can fell over thanks to my foot.  Now a half a gallon of paint to clean up on the wood floor.  Be afraid .... be very afraid.
