Red or Yellow?

I am going to paint the inside of my backdoor, which is close to the kitchen.  I really want to paint it a bright color.  I am torn between yellow and red.  I am leaning towards red, but what do you think?


Now, the results of this decision will be seen soon...unlike the bathroom sink.  Ooops!  The color will be on the inside of the door and not the outside...they would both look terrible with the outside.

Seriously a Wimp!

I have been trying to get back into the home project mode, although I am finding it quite difficult.  After about 2 minutes of working on any project my clothes are completely drenched.  One might think that this wouldn't be an issue, but I keep finding it to be a good excuse to stop after 30 minutes.  The following are my lame excuses:

1.  Sweat keeps running into my eyes and I can't see.
2.  My extremities stick to everything I am working on.
3.  There is no A/C in my house so once I get hot, I stay this way.
4.  I don't want to shower 12 times a day.

Today I got a few more steps completed on my shower.  They involved placing sealant and it sounds like it would be easy, but it felt like a sauna.  Then I started to sand down my little cupboard in my nook.  There is some sort of oil paint that does not want to come off, but I also discovered that it has glass windows, which have been painted over.  I haven't been able to get any part of it sanded down to the wood because the paint keeps forming clumps and sticking to the sander.  Plus, once again I was sweating buckets.  I just gave up and am not sitting with sweat rolling down my entire body.  Perhaps I will climb in the tub.
