Since I got the keyes I got also a look at the freshly painted apartment. And as it is quite common it had been painted white. The bright white just isn't my thing. And I figured I might start with the painting of the living room right away before moving in any furniture. Transporting the heavy paint cans and the rest of the painting suppies by tram isn't that easy. Yes, it's possible...but probalby not the most effective way to do that. First I thought about getting a rental car for that. But for one day they want to charge you about 80 bucks and on top of your credit card and your drivers license they want a valid passport from you as well. Currently I don't own a valid passport. So I canceled the rental car and went with a cab instead. I could fit all the stuff I needed to transport easily in the cab and it cost me only 12 bucks.
After I had dropped off all the painting suppies at my new place, I went back and picked up Daisy. When it comes to Trams and public transportation Daisy just is a natural. Even with her being 16 years old she still loves to go for rides. We got to the new place and it was Daisy's first time checking out the new apartment. Well, she checked it out but wasn't quite entirely sure what to make of it. She did stand long in front of the patio door but didn't dare to walk outside by herself. Finally she settled down while I started setting up the paint area and do all the taping off. And it always takes a ton of time. By the time I was done with all of that, the day light was fading and we headed back to my old place to get some dinner. All in all it was a quite sucessful Saturday.
On Sunday Daisy and I headed over to the new place and I started painting. I had decided to paint that part of the living room first where the couch is going. Then I painted all he corners of the rest. By the time I was done with that I started with the second coat of paint. All in all I'm happy with the way it turned out. But I'm still not sure if it's going to need a 3rd coat of paint, since these wall suck up paint like crazy.
