21. The painting is going pretty well.

I'm getting ready to start on the second bedroom. I get bogged down clearing out the closets in these rooms and that slows me down. Coming to terms with years of "stuff" that has been pushed away into the extra closets in the bedrooms is a time consuming, but necessary task. It's amazing what you overlook while working that you finally decide to deal with once you retire! I'm actually having fun choosing colors and seeing the transformation that they can bring to a room.

Sounds like your family has Ohio pretty well covered. Mine is pretty much still in central Ohio and the Columbus area. We are definitely rooting for the Ohio basketball teams in general, but had to choose Ohio State over Cincinnati last night.

Don't use tape. The texture on the wall or ceiling prevents it from lying flat. mbperrin Mar 2012 #7
