painting - family style
We all got some needed work done in the MBR today. Painting will wrap up tomorrow with any touchups and remaining trim spots that need to be done. We all worked together on this and has some fun in the process. Also learned some stuff about painting in an old house.
We made a semi-early run to pickup some last minute paint supplies before we got started. The best of which was the edging tool!! This little gadget works wonders. We were crushed when our traditional system of using tape to protect completed trim sections failed yesterday. This system ripped up about ten layers of paint (I think we were back to circa 1940) when trying to move the tape.
For the rest of the day we did a mix of painting and being with Matthew. Matthew helped out a bunch in "cleaning" the lower walls with his roller. While Mel and I worked on the top. We were able to get one coat on then once nap was over I spent some time out with Matthew raking and playing in the yard. Once Matthew was asleep for the night we did the other coat.
