Projects the weekend of 10/18

1. Update drivers license addresses update: we didn't realize that the place closed at noon until we showed up at 12:35. We'll try again next weekend.
2. Prime upstairs bedrooms update: We put one coat up in each room, but we probably need one more at least in the bright blue room. Luckily, the previous owners left 2 five-gallon buckets of white "base" paint behind, so this project was basically free.
3. Watch Michigan and Lions lose update: Done and done. This project was free, but my soul is damaged because of these teams.
4. Pickup flooring samples update: We were able to get two samples of a nice cherry from Home depot, a bamboo sample from Lowes, and about 6 carpet samples from Deerpath Carpet & Rug. Our designer is coming over Friday 10/24 to help us make our final selection. We had to leave a $25 deposit at Lowes because we basically rented a board with 3 samples on it. It should be 4, but someone ripped the 4th one off. We better not get dinged for that. Home Depot actually sold little samples of their stuff for $1 each. The carpet samples were free, and the guy there was really nice. I'm not sure what he's going to charge us though. We've already been quoted $4.10/sqft by Luna, and I'm not sure how this guy is going to improve on that.
5. Put up sample family room paint colors update: Jen did this. Our walls are now several different colors. We bought 2 samples. One is Putnam Ivory, the other I forget at the moment. Each was $3.50.
6. Sweep da floor update: I took care of this. I think I need to buy one of those brooms that school janitors use. We have basically 4 times the hardwood as we did in the condo, and our tiny, 8" wide sweeper is not cutting it. So, it was free so far.
