Painting Completed...

 

Getting the paint stirred up and ready to go...

 The awesome painters...

 The Dynamic Duo...

 The TV is still in the living room on a chair...

Josh didn't want to miss the baseball playoffs...

 I couldn't take pictures while my dad was suspended above the stairway...

but you can see how he did it...

Josh held the ladder... I held the paint...

 After years of my dad telling me...

"You are going to drive me to drink"

It looks like I finally succeeded!

 This pic does not show the true color... but it is beautiful

See those sweet "white" baseboards...

my mom painted all of those!

 Moving on to the kitchen...

 

I will have to get some pictures of the completed job in the kitchen and some better ones of the living room.  After the living/family and hallway was all painted... we had to wait 8 days for the carpet to be cleaned... can you say MESS!  The living room had a card table (great for eating on since the kitchen table was buried) 4 folding chairs and the TV. We lived in total chaos for over 2 weeks... no Halloween or fall decor in sight... take out dinners were our friend... but in the end it will be worth it I keep telling myself!  After the carpet was cleaned we moved everything out of the kitchen/dining area and moved it to the living room.  It only took dad and Josh 2 days to get it done and we were ready to getting the house put back together again... I still have things to get finished...but we have Halloween and fall decoration out and everyone is a happy camper!
