Working on trim

I started back on the exterior paint today, focussing on the trim. In this photo, you can see what the trim will look like, bearing in mind that only the window and door trim is painted.



Also we've been getting afternoon visits from a starving Australian Shepherd that recently had puppies. The neighbors don't know her. I think she wants to adopt us. UPDATE: We were duped by a dog. The Aussie has a home around the corner. She is employed as an outdoor watchdog. I guess she got bored and hungry.

Tada!

We finished painting the inside today. Tomorrow we will do touchup as the light changes and spots become noticeable. Then floor prep starts with occasional jabs at painting the outside.

Stephen has been working on clearing up the construction debris and is almost done. Here's his latest burn pile.

May the paint roll fast

One week and 27 gallons (yes, 27 gallons!) later, we have begun to paint. We're probably close to half done, thanks to the friends who helped this weekend. We won't be applying as much paint as primer, but it will be close. Every room is needing just a little more than a gallon. And the master bedroom is about a 4' square short of taking 2 gallons. I will buy a third later this week.

Top to bottom: entry, guest room, master bath, master bed, office.

Priming is almost complete. The painting party starts this weekend.
Yesterday, our flooring was delivered in the rain. Bryan had hoped to move it all into the house but you can see in the photo, that's just not going to happen till we start installing it. Seven tons is a lot to move, even if it is divided into six pallets.
