My wife decided at 6:30PM or so last night she didn't feel like going to Ikea to pick up the shelves we needed to replace the armoire. She was in the middle of a thorough exorcism and cleaning of the kitchen, so I went on my own.
It took me an hour to match up the shelves, to obtain them, and to check out. By the time I got back down to Home Depot, they had been closed for 5 minutes.
I should have gone and gotten the spraypaint first.
The shelves were assembled quickly and left in front of the Tissue Cam for the day. Not like there's room anywhere else for them yet but the spot they need to go, and that's piled high with all the stuff that needs to go on the shelves when they're ready.
See?
Anyway, I pick up the spraypaint on the way home today. I've got four cans of the stuff, and I'm finishing can #2. I think I've got enough, but there's always the possibility of getting more cans.
She asked for three. I got four. We both may be wrong.
Go figure.
Anyway, I'm going to run through the surfaces not covered with newspaper, let it dry for a bit, then tilt the sucker up and spray the rest.
We'll finally have shelves to replace the armoire.
But we'll never replace the Grumpus Cave.
I really hope it doesn't rain like the radar says it will. I wish we'd have gotten the shelves on Saturday and painted during the Disastros game on Sunday like I kinda planned.
Shucky darn.

the Cave is replaceable, Grumpus on the other hand, never. also, the Cave now has casters, that should help it last a bit longer. if you happen to find the missing handle laying around or a skeleton key that might fit the lock, lemme know.
