Room Prep

One morning I woke up and realized I was sick of parking on the drive way and tromping through out garage full of molding, and flooring just sitting in the shade while the kids cooked as we got in the car everyday. So I encouraged Neil that we could do the floor, we'd just bam it out and it would be fine. Chip had taught us well, we could totally do it!! I didn't think he was listening much. So... much to my surprise my pep talk was better than I'd thought. I got home from work one night and he'd pulled up the carpet. I guess we are doing the floor!Funny how Neil kept calling Neil. I thought to find out how to do things, but later learned he was trying as hard as he could to get his folks down to help. I kept telling him we could do it, and I wasn't about to make his parents work on their hands and knees like we did before!

While Neil was out of town I figured with the carpet up and the molding off that would be the only time to paint. So my amazing sister came to the rescue. She was moving everything, and hated every minute being on the top of the latter taping the ceiling. Neil was successful at getting Pam & Chip to come down. They were bringing their spray gun.

Carter was my good helper with priming the wall!

We were ready! Thanks to the help of EVERYONE involved!
