Thats how long we’ve been doing this painting project in the kitchen. Now, you must be thinking…”it took you 5 weeks to paint”. We’ll…technically yes… But we didn’t just paint the walls, but sanded cabinets, and painted them…apparently taking cabinets from dark wood to white takes awhile…3 weeks or so…when you only have time to do one coat every x number of days…

Im putting myself to sleep just typing this. I dont like reading about other peoples home improvement projects, the only people who care are the people who put in the effort, but i thought i would share one tid bit of a lesson learned (consulting speak).
