D, looks busy and expensive for you for a spell: a new truck, house painting, repairing bare wood, set off by creativity unlimited.
Have you used Kilz paint? We are looking at it for our siding project. it's 35% cheaper than Sherwin Williams and generally gets the highest marks on review sites.
Party should be a blast, and if something goes wrong ... goes wrong ... goes wrong make it part of the time.
Today I'm approaching as a "pre-production" day because I won't get a clear run of time. Tomorrow and Friday and possibly Saturday are my production days. All around some creative yet yucky stuff for the condo. I'm inviting Joy, Fun, and Surprise to buddy along with me. Going with the Seinfeld method of getting to it every day till it's done. Immediately I started thinking of ways I might find help or compress the work. I'm in good company.
