Friday Update

It finally got hot and humid. My days are basically me cleaning up and playing with the kittens in the morning, cranking at work, and then coming home and cranking on the loft. I've patched, sanded, patched again, sanded again, primed, caulked, painted, caulked again and finally Tuesday night put down a second coat. I'm waiting for good daylight to see if it's even enough or I need to go buy more paint and put a third coat on. Here's a picture of the floor after primer coat. 

It was grueling. I enjoy the work but am just sweating in places I never sweat and my muscles are achy from all the angles I convert. Reading more, I think I should wait several weeks before moving everything back - to let the paint set/cure. Frustrating yet at the same time nice since I was on the fence about if I should paint trim/walls/ceiling while everything is tucked away. Decision made - I'll be starting on the trim next and working my way up. Just have to pick a shade of white. Easier said then done. 

Here's a picture of the little guys. This is what I come home to - them sleeping on my desk together. Everyone is adjusting well and I'm so proud of Winston. He's not the friendliest guy (he only has eyes for me) but he's been wonderful - eating with them, bathing them and starting to play a little. He liked all the kitten toys I brought home. 

The little guys are adorable and even though they look almost identical they have distinct personalities. It seems like Webster and Winston are a bit more buddy buddy. I think they bonded over their love of food. And Wallace is a lover and is the first to seek me out for snuggles. They are so cute and so tiny compared to Winston. Super happy family
