Wanted: A Professional Painter

Wanted: A Professional Painter
I just about have finished painting the upstairs inside front of the house.
I learned a couple of lessons.
1. Hire a pro to do it next time. (It about killed me off) considering I am working part time and had to fit painting in after work.
2. Be thankful for a Son in Law who so generously used his talents to repair the cracked ceilings and door ways. (Thanks Wally for giving up you weekend to fix and patch for me)
3. Always have your sisters help you hang the pictures. Because with all the differing opinions, tape measures and levels someone will be right.
4. Always buy the paint samples. If I would have painted what I originally had planned it would have been really ugly. It payed off the experiment with the actual cup full of paint (available at Home Depot).
I wish I had before and after pictures. But for those who are familiar with the house you will see the difference.
See if you can pick them out.





Some of the differences are.
1. Paint Color
2. New side light in the front door (no more Gold plexiglass)
3. No draperies.
4. Cupboards moved and painted in the Laundry Room.

Heidi hosted a party at her house. I forgot to take pictures. But here is a picture of the grandkids with Great Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Hardman.


Here are some more pictures of my cute grand kids.






Cole loved feeding the horses the corn.



Lets all take time to giggle like Avery.
Love to all of you.
