First Coat of Brown Paint

Well, the restaurant is finally starting to look like we had envisioned it, after a fairly major painting party last night.




The painting took quite a while, since we've having to be a bit more careful now that we're getting closer to being finished. Also, the wainscotting around the base of the dining room has grooves in it, every couple of inches, so it all has to be done with some careful brushwork.

Other than the painting, I didn't get too much else done yesterday. I did buy a car, but that's about it. It's actually the car I've been driving around for the past several years. The lease apparently ran out in October, so I went over to Amherst Toyota yesterday after to talk to them about my options. I had thought for a while about upgrading to a hybrid, but in the end, it just seemed a lot easier to buy the car that I already have (a Toyota Echo). At least it gets extremely good fuel mileage, and in the four years that I've had it, there has not been a single mechnical problem with it.
