Unbelievable, Painter Man did another 12 hours straight of painting yesterday! It was after 10 p.m. when he left. He will be going out to do estimates today to get new jobs, so there will be no painting. Linda bought a pizza home last night so he could have some dinner and he ate standing up and doing little jobs. It's not like John tinkers around and sits and drinks coffee. He never stops working. Linda was gone a majority of the day, but was home for a few hours in between classes and going to church. We are not going to put any photos up until the curtains are hung, new floor is in and Linda can clean up. Painting is messy business, for sure. The work station has moved to the blue room now and we have our living room and dining room furniture back to their right places. Denise and Tom came last night to do some of the electrical work. The outlets and light switches are over 25 years old and looked super dingy next to the bright white trim. While Linda is gone today, they will come back and finish switching out all of those. Taylor warned Linda "Mom, as soon as you start doing little jobs to fix things, it's like an out of control tumbleweed. You put new floors, then NEED to paint, then NEED new outlets, then NEED new counters..." The list could be endless. After the floors are in, that will be it for awhile. The downstairs will stay the same and so will the bathroom floors. Linda is so excited with how pretty it all looks. Sarah just did an amazing job picking out the colors. It looks like it could be on one of those TV home make-over shows!
