only because it's red...

I opened the can of paint and the cover went "splat" -- paint side down onto the drop cloth. I patted myself on the back for preparing the area and having a drop cloth in the right place at the right time. The actual painting was pretty uneventful. A few little spots on the ceiling that were easily removed. A few other spots on the tape and adjoining wall(s) which are going to be painted a dark gray anyway.

I made it all the way down the wall, and...then...I stepped in the "splat"! Oh well -- I didn't need that sock anyway.

The red wall looks great! Now, it's time to move on to the white woodwork, and, ceiling. :-)
