Today's Work

Our family is in the middle of another house make-over project.  This one has been slower because we have been  out of town a lot this summer.  It has been rough with these extremely HOT days.  We try to get there by 8 or 9 am and work until a late lunch, then we call it a day (however, Paul worked a 12 hours today!).  Corbin and Paul have been braving the roof as they have been painting it by hand with its crazy roof angles and dangerous ladder feats.  They have been trying to get everything above the roof painted so it will be ready for new shingles.

I am the master of covering windows with paper and getting the main floor of the house ready for a paint spray gun - that is Monday's job.  The whole house needs new paint, both the interior and exterior.  It wouldn't be so bad, except that most of the interior walls are vaulted with high ceilings.  It is going to be tricky.  We have started the interior paint - there is still plenty left.

Porter spent hours today stripping wallpaper the walls in a bedroom.  The room looked like a dungeon with the dark paint and dark paper.  I can't wait to give it a white ceiling and a new wall color.

What else is on the list?
lots of interior painting!!!!
more wallpaper to remove in a bathroom and the kitchen
paint and glaze kitchen cabinets
paint bathroom vanity
choose paint colors for bathrooms and the dungeon bedroom (and paint)
paint all the trim in the house (some of it needs primed too)
install new master bathroom vanity
find new bathroom mirrors
paint interior doors
wood floors?  what to do to shine them up
paint front door inside and out
clean up garage - it's full of tons of junk
install new kitchen counters

...I am sure I am missing something!
