We decided on a paint color for the massage room this morning – ‘Rob Roy,’ sort of a goldenrod yellow color, with a metallic gold ceiling. Yeah, that’s right, metallic gold.
The metallic paint adds an interesting twist – it has to be applied with a spray gun so all the little mica particles aren’t lined up from brush strokes. Arvind is getting his Hungarian forklift driver friend Julius, who apparently is also handy with a spray gun, to do the metallic ceiling.
Originally, Julius planned to come tomorrow afternoon, so today’s task was to finish two coats on the ceiling and one on the walls. Bear in mind that Jane’s room took me nearly a week – yes, there was the added complication of the closet and tons of weird angles and trim on the ceiling as well as the floor, but still. Jane was supposed to help me, but the she picked up our new WOOFer Arnaud today, and he is a Frenchman who appears to be approximately 8 feet tall. Advantage: he can roller the ceiling and walls without using a ladder or extension handle. Disadvantage: he requires the larger caravan, so I have to move to the smaller one now.
After getting one coat on the ceiling and all walls by about 5 pm, we found out the gold paint is out of stock and won’t be in until Monday afternoon, so we got a bit of a break there.
I fit in a sauna and spa after making dinner, and we watched an unremarkable movie – can’t even remember the name!
