Alas, before one builds, one has to prepare. One must paint. I hate painting. (walls and sheds, houses and the like) I started to paint, but I couldn't quite reach the whole thing. So-(pic 2) Louis got the ladder and finished the high spots for me, then decided (picture 3) to go ahead and finish painting the entire length of the wall. While he was doing that, I spray painted the light fixture to match the hooks I'd purchased earlier at IKEA.(pic 4) THEN I got to build, install the hooks, put down the FLOR squares and entice a cat to recline for ambience. Ta-Da! (Pic 5)
