It's happening - 20

In an attempt to speed things up with our slow drying oil-based primer we have cranked the heat and are also applying directed heat to some specially selected sections (i.e. blasting portions of the wall with a hair dryer). 

It would be quite nice if we could start the painting sooner rather than later as we still have grouting and feasting to do. 

And in other news - I just made a pumpkin pie (well, I made the filling and slapped it into a frozen crust). The main course is to be mushroom and barley soup.
