Projects for the weekend of 11/15

I am posting this a few days late, but this was my chore list this weekend.

1. Paint hallway and stairwell. Update: Jen and I did a lot of painting on Sunday and managed to put one whole coat on. It looks really nice, and I was able to use our "Climb Tech" ladder as a scaffold. It was a bit scary though. We learned that Benjamin Moore's "Aura" paint is really worth the extra $10. It goes on so much smoother, expecially when doing the cutting. We looked this morning, and still should put one more coat on but it would be worse with the older Benjamin Moore "Regal" paint.
2. Watch Michigan and Detroit lose. Update: Done and done.
3. Enjoy the Hold Steady concert. Update: If you haven't yet heard the Hold Steady, I highly recommend them. Their lead singer has an infectious stage presence.
4. I also ripped the carpet off of the back stairwell, and had to do a little bit of caulking of the baseboards. A few cracks had developed. I learned that water-proof caulk does not wash off your hands very easily.
