The second coat of paint on the last closet is finished. Aside from putting two doors back up, reinstalling some fixtures and hardware, a few touch ups, and replacing two ceiling lights with ceiling fans — the upstairs is done. It only took 500 hours of labor (stretched out over 8 months), 8.5 gallons of paint, 1 gallon of Pine Sol, 1/2 bottle of Murphy's oil soap, 1.75 gallons white vinegar, 1.5 tubs of Oxyclean, two bottles of Awesome Orange, 2 cans of enamel spray paint, 2 packs of Dollar Store Sponges (about 8 sponges each), 3 paint rollers, 1 painter pole (damage in use), 2 flimsy paint trays (damaged in use), 3 disposable plastic drop cloths, and one small table fan (burned out last night some time...I think it overheated).
Temperature this afternoon officially was at 102 F, but the thermometer on my vehicle read 108 when I was running errands, so yes, I just finished at 12:30am eastern waiting for the upstairs to cool off, and it was still in the 90's up there. Thinking of taking a try of cookies up there and leaving them in the closet to bake.
Hopefully in the next couple days I will be able to straighten out the furniture between the two rooms so I can go get some of my stuff out of storage and put it up there. Wish I could afford an AC up there... filled my credit card up buying tools, supplies, and replacing my phone.
If there is interest I will take some "Final" photos once the furniture is set up.
