It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll :D

The Painting Job

This is the slideshow of the paint job our house has been undergoing for the last week. Allan, the man doing the job, took this past weekend off, but he's very efficient and he'll probably be done tomorrow or the next day.

On another note: this morning I went for my G2 (again, I know) and passed. Third time's a charm, apparently. Thank goodness I passed.

If you were wondering about the name of this post, it's the title and chorus of a song by AC/DC that I happen to really like. The first verse and chorus lyrics are:

Ridin' down the highway /Goin' to a show /Stop in all the by-ways/ Playin' rock 'n' roll/ Gettin' robbed/Gettin' stoned/ Gettin' beat up/ Broken boned/ Gettin' had/ Gettin' took/ I tell you folks/ It's harder than it looks/ It's a long way to the top/ If you wanna rock 'n' roll/ It's a long way to the top/ If you wanna rock 'n' roll/ If you think it's easy doin' one night stands/ Try playin' in a rock roll band/ It's a long way to the top/ If you wanna rock 'n' roll

The driving part is why I mentioned it.

They call me mellow yellow

We're painting the house, and guess what color? If you guessed brown, I'm going to have to disappoint you. The color is called Dorset gold, and it's a lovely warm tone of yellow. My entire main floor will be that color in a few days, with one accent wall in the family room painted Maple Syrup. I'll let you imagine what that particular shade resembles.
Anyways, the house already looks way better than it used to, and I'm so excited for it to be finished. We got new lighting for the kitchen and family room, and as soon as Alan, the man doing the painting, does the ceilings in that half of the main floor, we'll set about installing it.
I'm actually going to have one of those nice houses that I always admire when I go to my friends' houses. How exciting!
Pictures to come, from before and after.
