Painting Sounds

November 24, 2009
posted by  EllenBR


I posted this on my personal blog but feel it would be fun to share with everyone. Enjoy!

 

My husband and I launched into a bigger than expected job repainting our den this week and weekend.  I've also experienced some new and old familiar sounds in the process. "Hear's" my list!

  • Squeaky, squishy paint rollers.
  • Swooshy paint brushes.
  • Scratchy tape coming off the roll.
  • Zippy tape coming off the wall later.
  • Burbly stir sticks in thick paint cans.
  • Loud water faucets and more loud water when washing rollers and brushes. Seems this went on forever.
  • Crunchy crackly drip cloths on the floor.
  • Clangy metal ladder steps.
  • Clangier paint trays on the ladder.
  • Greg's rather odd singing with his Ipod. :o)
  • Tinny metal screws dropped onto the electrical plates after being removed from the wall.
  • A louder than normal room with the furniture moved out.
  • Pleasant, polite clerks at the paint store. Yes, I could actually have a conversation with them all by myself - amazing!)
  • Papers blowing off the counter in the breeze with the doors open.
  • Really loud music bouncing off the walls as Greg and I rocked out while painting.
  • And finally, the sighs and joys of both of us saying "It looks awesome!" when we finished.
I LOVE HEARING ALL THIS REGULAR STUFF AGAIN!

That's awesome Ellen! One thing I noticed right away durng home improvement projects is that if I drop a nail or screw I can hear it hit the floor and find it again. Always used to frustrate me when I would lose screws because I didn't know they had fallen. Happy Painting :-)
