Progress... slow but sure

Put several hours into painting again last night.

Finished in the guest bathroom, putting a second coat of paint on the patch I'd made at the wall fixture, and later putting the lighter paint on as splatter.  [Reviewing previous posts, I see my commentary about shoddy construction somehow didn't make it into the blog.  Remounting light fixture in bathroom after supposedly finishing painting proved that the electrical box behind the sheet rock hadn't been properly mounted... it was hanging loose.  Had to break out enough of the sheet rock to jury rig it solid, using a shim from the nearby 2x4 and some epoxy, the space being to tight to use nails or screws.  Then patched, sand, and repaint, leading to this post.]

In the living room/foyer/hallway, did all the necessary touch-ups on the previously painted surface, and also painted all the sections of wall that I hadn't done earlier.  There is about 200 square feet of wall yet to be painted in the living room, but I have to move furniture/bookshelves to get at it, and that will have to wait until we finish painting the trim (later this week/weekend).

Oh yeah, need another gallon of paint.
