today we started the long planned kitchen repainting. eileen, zach (a young friend) and i pulled down the late 1980s' wall paper, washed the walls of glue, mostly, and tore out the false ceiling above the cabinets, and moved 2 cabinets so i can switch the stove and fridge locations. next week i'm having a remodeler come out to install a heavy duty kitchen vent and a bathroom vent. the kitchen will be painted behrs' green tea with white trim. i can't replace the cabinets or flooring this year, but getting this done will hold off the bigger remodeling for a few more years. and i really need to learn how to post pictures so i can show off my work here. there is at least an hours worth of work ahead of me tonight. sigh.
