It's warm today but we have a lovely breeze that feels soooo good!<br /><br />APG - Yeah, lots of masking tape will be involved in the painting process . . . but I should have been smart enough to do it much earlier! (You know, ol' concrete head!)<br /><br />Erin - Finn might have been the "easy" one while you were remodeling! Loch was much more mobile at that time, right?<br /><br />Chickie Mama - Don't fret a bit, Chickadee. I know you would drop everything and help in a minute if we really needed you!

I've been biting my tongue because I know what a bother it will be to re-do, but ESPECIALLY since the pine woodwork / shelving has gone in . . . the color is ABSOLUTELY *PINK*!!!! I know that room will be absolutely RIGHT once it's re-painted. I wish I had time in my schedule right now to HELP you and Dad with all this work!!!

You'll feel more "complete" in there if you just do it LOL. This post is bringing back memories... I remember putting wheels on Finn's crib since we could just shove him around while we worked, we had bare studs and wires hanging out of the ceiling and the poor guy slept on a different patch of square feet every night!

What a terrible thing to happen in the middle of remodeling! You must be a saint to have accepted it all.<br /><br />Jane - Ha-ha. Very funny. You first.<br /><br />Alla - I'm okay when we're busy little beavers working like crazy. It's these times when you have to do more planning (or changes of plans), wait for something to come in, or stop and go get supplies (we're so far from things up here) that are bad on my "just-wanna-get-it-done" point of view. I know. I need to learn patience.

The term PHD, as in projects half done, applied to us for several years after that. Now, several more surgeries later, we just accept a liquid time frame on everything around here!!2 Trampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721390235821161265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-50335055092262130172011-07-30T13:09:55.137-05:002011-07-30T13:09:55.137-05:00Renovations take forever I have found out.

You have to wait for things to dry and then do several coats. UG!

The possibilities are endless!Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.com
