Painting!







Right after Rachel and Matt left last week, Deb and I spent the next one and one half days texturing every wall in the house we could work on..... except the interior of the exterior walls...
Wow. This past week and weekend, we started painting - sheetrock primer and sealer..... and, even finished the living area ceiling! A total of three coats. We were beat. Plenty of shoulder and neck workout doing ceiling and walls with a roller and power roller. Two friends, Tim and Scott lent us their power rollers which makes a big difference for sure.
Steve in Ohio gave us some invaluable painting advice and away we went. Here's the pics of the painting and a few more of other stuff.....:)
PS my Dad always said that you can tell good painters from bad by the ones who have more paint on them than the walls... needless to say Deb has no paint on her.....

You guys have made phenomenal progress -- the place looks fantastic!

Don even spontaneously sweats paint! Or was that a finger-trail of paint down his forehead from Deb?

I really admire and respect what you have accomplished!
