Staples and paint

I had the day off yesterday, and spent most of it working on the addition. Brian came over and helped me rip out the old flooring in the entryway, and we also worked on pulling staples out of the floor. There were hundreds of staples - I continued working on it throughout the day, and I now have most of them either pulled out or pounded down.


I also made a trip to Amicus Green Design, where I got some paint. We are using "no-VOC" paint from American Pride. This paint has no volatile organic carbons, which means it is less likely than regular paint to be a source of indoor air pollution. I picked up a 5-gallon bucket of white for the ceiling and some other area, plus some of the "silver skates" gray/blue that we had selected for the walls in the addition. The picture is of the sample that we painted out - does not look like much on the picture so you will need to just come over and see it after we are done! We are hoping to paint this weekend . .
