D.O.N.E.

One month ago today. Ok, maybe one month and three days, but who's counting. Started "operation paint house". Bob helped get things started with the pressure washer and then helped when he could with some scraping. I finished the scraping, sanded and then went on vacation. HA! Once again, upon return, Bob got things cooking again and started the priming. Thanks to him, the house was primed. Then he went and bought a house of his own and then there was one. Me. I called in some reinforcements - Emily, to take over with the kids so I could get some serious painting done. And now, the green is complete. Or at least as complete as it will ever be. Two coats on 95% of the house (NOT doing a second coat above dining room bump out - "light" ladder wouldn't reach and that orange ladder is just too much for me to ever try hoist again to reach that area). There are two coats on half the garage - not doing the two sides that aren't ever seen. I even patched a bunch of the roughed up boards before getting the second coat on. And now I am done. Let's hope the trim really does just "take care of itself..."
