For 2 rookies (my stepdad and I), this looks pretty good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I then spent the rest of the day painting 3 walls in the living room. I\u2019m finishing off the gallon I got from Walmart for 20 bucks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lesson learned<\/strong>; only use paint that has a primer in it already. I\u2019ve had to hit this wall with 4 coats already just for it to look presentable.

That one has a primer in it and I\u2019ll use it for the rest of the house.

My girlfriend had some plans and wanted to eat chicken wings with me so I just went home. I could\u2019ve went to the house to work for a couple of hours but I felt like I wouldn\u2019t have got much done in just a little bit of time. Also, my body has been aching and I was pretty sore, so I figured I\u2019d just rest that night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For today, however, I went to the house straight after work. I was able to leave a couple of hours earlier. My goal was to finish painting the entire living room, dining room, and hallway by the front door. I successfully painted what I needed to. I did to coats around all those areas. I think 2 coats was enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to touch up the corners, but I\u2019ll do all that at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I was leaving the house, my stepdad showed up with a new fence that we plan on putting up this Sunday. In the end, we felt a fence had to be added because it made the backyard look much better. The appeal was not there without the fence.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Possible tenant?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a lady that added me on Facebook. She found me on a local Facebook group where I made a comment to a lady that was looking for a place to rent. She was interested and we talked for a little bit. She later stopped responding so I\u2019m taking it as that was a dead end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Still, it\u2019s nice to see how being socially active can get you leads. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hours worked: 3.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total hours worked at rental: 37.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tomorrow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to work early and try to leave by about 12 so I can go work at the house<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomorrow\u2019s goal is to keep painting. \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Paint other hallway and 2 smaller bedrooms. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload 5 more videos to my product youtube channel. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I need to make a few more videos for my main channel where I document my journey.
