Painting

What I learned last weekend, never paint your own house unless it’s one story and very small and even then think twice about it because painting sucks!

After months of prep work and roughly 15 hours of painting the house is done, ha ha, I wish but at least we’ve got a good start. Here’s a sneak peak at the progress. The back and other side are still white but this picture makes me feel better about the whole project. There is a dim light at the end of the tunnel.




Jeff’s Dad, Larry, came over Sat and helped the whole weekend. On Sunday Grandma Lori came to watch Ave and help. Thanks you guys, we couldn’t have done it without you.

On Sat since we didn’t have anyone to watch Ave she spent some of her day watching movies in Grandpa Bubba’s rig. She actually did really well but kept yelling out the window, “You alright guys.”

Before Grandpa showed up that morning we had Ave inside watching movies and playing. We set up a step stool at one of the windows so she could look out and talk to us. At one point she was saying, “Mommy Daddy I need help.” So Jeff went inside and discovered she had stuck both her legs through one side of her underwear and couldn’t figure out how to fix it. Those undies can be complicated. Then once she figured out saying I need help got us inside she started coming up with all sorts of reasons for needing help.


Jeff is home right now painting more and I plan on working on the trim for a couple hours each night until it’s done. Jeff leaves for a Norway trip on Friday and is gone until the following Friday so we are in a little bit of a time crunch but I think if we both keep at it we can get it all done. Wish us luck.
