Painting Party!

We are reeling from an awesome whirlwind weekend of painting and bathroom tiling. We had SO MUCH help from our friends and family and it gave us a big boost. It's amazing how much work it takes to paint a house. Prepping, priming, patching, taping, cutting, first coats, touch-ups, second coats...initially it seems pretty simple. Just dip a paint brush into paint. But these guys re-acquainted themselves with the complexities of many different types of paint (semi-gloss, eggshell, high-gloss), and with many different colors. We had to stage it just right, and choreograph the coats of primer and paint to dry in such a way, in such a time, to maximize our friends' help.

Here's a little tribute to all our helpers:

Thanks, Sarah Isabel, Jen, Shawn, Ryan, Adam, Larry, Melinda, Melanie and Dedula!

We'll still be painting for a few more days if anyone feels like popping in and picking up a paintbrush.
