purple walls

I finished painting the walls in the den tonight. Scott wasn't able to sleep Sunday night, so he decided to surprise me by getting the priming done! I started painting Tuesday night and got two walls done in about 3 hours... finished the last two walls tonight after another 2 hours. It looks really cool though, the walls have a marble type look to them. I'm really excited to get the floor done and then finish touching up the trim.

Today Scott spent most of the afternoon and all evening removing sod just outside the door to the back door. Home Depot delivered the patio stones and sand I invested in, so Scott plans on getting the rest of the sod removed and then filling with sand and leveling. I'm not sure if he will get the stones placed tomorrow as well because it is supposed to be hot again tomorrow. I was only outside helping level the exposed dirt for about 20 minutes and worked up a sweat, and that was after the sun had gone down, so I really appreciate that Scott is doing this. It will be nice to have a patio and should increase the value of the property a little bit too (maybe enough to offset that crack along the east wall).
