We've been pretty busy as a family the last few weeks. We've been painting the house. I was a union painter for many years, so it is not really a big deal. I borrowed a paint truck from by brother Dan, ( His company along with my brother Steve, is Brinkley Painting.) and started spraying last Saturday evening. It seemed to take longer than I remembered, but maybe it was because Amy and KL don't tape off windows quite as fast at a painter would. Anyway we got it done spraying about 9:00PM. I had to have Aim get a light just to make sure I did't miss any spots at the last part of the house. (It was getting dark, ok not getting, but was dark.)
Sunday I trimmed out the windows in a darker color. (It was white, now a dark brown) The siding went from a blue to a kakhi kind of color. Amy and KL painted the front porch rails and pickets. One with a roller and the other with a brush. They were both covered by the end of the day, but so were the rails.
We are putting in a brick patio behind our deck, so Blake had the fun task of carring bricks. I keep telling him it builds character, so should have alot by now!
I still have to paint the facia boards, but maybey this next week I can do that.
My nephew Jared has helped me on some of the painting as well. His company is Brinkley Elite Painting. (brothers Jeff and Don are also owners)
I've been trying to get it done, but when I had time it decided to rain for a week, then I'd get busy. Aw, life.
