Painting Time

The goal is to paint about half of the inside of the house before the nice weather comes - so we can be outside having fun, and not inside painting.

Here is the run down (we will post photos later)
Living room / dining room: same colour - needs another coat or 2 and some patching.
Kitchen: same colour - needs another coat.
Upstairs hall: same colour - needs another coat.
Kids rooms: new colours!
Downstairs hall: patching and another coat or 2
Office: new colour required!

So far the living room has been cleared and patched - painting scheduled for this weekend!

If anyone has tips for painting the entrance walls in a spilt level, please let us know! They are about 12-15 feet high.....

Glad we moved here

Well, last Saturday was a good day - my niece had to go to the hospital.

Now, before you ask, I DO love my niece. I describe it as a good day, because it illustrated one of the reasons we moved here.

FAMILY.

I got a call in the morning from my sister, who told me that my niece went into the hospital late the night before. She wanted to know if I could help her out. We gladly dropped everything, and I went to pick up my sister and her other daughter, and brought them over to our house. Larissa looked after the little one, while I took my sister to the hospital. I switched my sister for my brother-in-law, who had been up all night, and took him home for a nap. They came home from the hospital later that day, all seems well.

I am happy we moved here.
