Day 1 of the Paint Job

The painters came about 8 AM and worked on both bedrooms. We had to place most of the boxes in the living room so they would be out of the way. Karen and I had many cases of audio and video tapes of radio stations and movies that just could not fit in the apartment while it was being painted. So I took those boxes and moved them into the hallway. About 2 O'Clock the building manager came to our apartment and told us that it was illegal to place anything in the hallway and that the co-op could be fined if fire department inspectors came. Boy, she was really playing the devil's advocate. We had to wait until the painters finished for the day and brought the stuff back to the apartment. Other than that everything went smoothly.
