Fresh Paint

I finally got the keys...So we started on the interior. First, Dad, Andy and I painted one of the bedrooms green while the ladies (Mom and Kristine) tore apart the bathroom...Then we showed Kristine the electric sander...she spent the rest of the day sanding the old paint drips in the bathroom, literally all day. We tore out a bunch of stuff in the bathroom (Cole is good with a pry bar) including some old tile, an old shelf and the shower curtain thing. All of this left holes in the walls that we had to repair.

While all of this was going on, Mom was busy in the backyard stripping 50 years of paint off of the woodwork that we tore out of the bathroom.


Kitchen:
Tore all of the wallpaper off the walls and repaired the wall that was under the paper, then painted. This was some hideous paper: Yellow with a brown lattice pattern and orange flowers...sweet.

Saturday was all prep work: Sanding, taping, repairing holes, prying things out of the walls, and some painting.

Scott, stoked to be crouching behind the fridge...

Today it was just Me, Mom, Dad and Andy and we painted like crazy.



Now the bedroom is green, the bathroom is light blue and the kitchen is off white waiting on a gold color for the trim, we did not paint any trim this weekend, we will save that fun for another time.

Side note: found extensive termite damage in the floor of the dining room, a pest guy is coming out tomorrow to see what can be done...hooray.
