Bed progress
Aug. 30th, 2006 12:42 pmWe've been continuing to work on Jamie's bed. It had been really hot, making progress slow and miserable. It RAINED Sunday and Monday, yay yay yay, and it's briefly cooler. So I spent a lot of the last two days out in the garage, painting the board that's going to be the backstop underneath the loft bed, with one side done in magnetic chalkboard paint. That is some weird paint, sludgy stuff. I've been painting and scrubbing my hands enough that the dermatitis is back, darn it. The pharmacy will call my doctor and see if I can get more of that cream that helped.
Last night
selenite and
fordprfct completed putting one of the ends together. Then the drill ran out of power.
selenite will be getting more of it done in the next few days - maybe we can even get it finished and up in his room over the weekend. It would be nice. I'll probably add the stars later.
I also took down the easel from Maggie's room, which has a chalkboard surface on one side. Brendan had scribbled over the green chalkboard with marker years ago, pretty badly. I put two coats of the magnetic chalkboard paint over it, hopefully that will be a big improvement. I've been using it to start teaching Maggie to write letters - she's got A reasonably, and is starting to learn B.
