Heidi and I kept painting over the course of the week. We wanted to get as many colors put away as possible, so we completed all the upstairs bedrooms at night. There were some late nights, but we did get everything done that we hoped. Friday was a busy night as we primed the whole main floor of the house in just a few hours. We wanted to leave nothing but painting for the Saturday "help".
However, by the time Saturday came, our painting help sort of unraveled. John showed up as did my mom, but due to a variety of circumstances, that was all the additional help we were going to see. So we had to improvise. We decided to use the sprayer that was previously used for priming for the actual wall paint. It worked great! And we made real good time. Maddie also cooperated so we had Heidi for the whole day. We completed the office and painted with the light brown (living room, dining room, kitchen, hallways, stairway...) until we ran out. We got more done than we could have imagined.
Heidi told me she would finish up whatever's left. Hooray! I'm done painting!
After lunch we took a quick break and walked to the neighboring lot to take a look at the river. (For a mere $239,000 it can be all yours!)
After we had all taken a look, Martin and Libby decided they weren't done and stood there a little longer either admiring the panoramic view or the train running in the valley below. For once, I wasn't too slow with the camera.
I had mentioned that Mom was helping paint. Well, Dad was busy accomplishing something else... We are now lit up. Those aren't just the temporary lights illuminating the windows anymore!
Mom & Dad didn't come alone either. Rob was there, too, setting doors upstairs. I guess I never went upstairs with the camera, so those pictures will have to wait.
