Halloween and a Garage Update

October 31st, 2011

Happy Halloween everybody!  Hope everyone gets all the candy they can stand.  Lisa and I will be taking the baby out for her first Halloween later today.  Really looking forward to it!  She’s going to be a ladybug!  Two years ago, Lisa and I went to a party as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife, Beth.

Those tattoo sleeves were from Walmart!

An update on our garage plans:

  • We had a drywall company finish the last two coats of spackle.  It came out awesome.  I’ve very happy with it.  We’ll post pictures when we start painting.  The company we used was JA Drywall aka Juan Alonzo.  Juan and his company did an amazing job with our garage.  We hired Juan a few years ago when we were renovating our first home in Philly.  We’ll definitely hire him again when we finish our basement (especially if I don’t feel like hanging the drywall myself!)
  • So this weekend, we had grand plans of painting the garage walls.  I bought a five gallon bucket of Olympic ONE in flat sheen and then it rained all day Saturday.  Sunday it was about 40 F, so I’d rather not spend the day in the garage painting in non-ideal conditions.  We plan on painting sometime next weekend since the weather will be much warmer (near 60 F).

We’re looking forward to wrapping up the garage project ASAP because we’re rapidly approaching morning windshield frost time and I don’t want to be scraping my car in the morning.  Can’t fight mother nature though!

Anyone have any funny Halloween Costumes to share?  Post a link in the comment section to the photo or email us a photo and we’ll post it.
