New Paint

The weekend that Brett and I moved in, we decided that the purple was just too much to handle and so we went and bought some paint to change at least one wall. We spent a day or two ripping down some paneling that we didn't like and fixing holes in the wall.

Then we painted it. For most people the color is a little shocking, but we like it and think it will work our well with what we want for our home. Brett had fun writing a message before I took the picture.

This last Friday March 30th, my dad came down to pick me up from my way home from school and come to help me paint our house. We bought a couple gallons of paint and started working to get the front entry and room all painted. Dad was brave and did the entryway which has a very high ceiling; he had to stand on a latter and paint in the stairwell as I couldn't reach all the way to the top even on a latter.

We managed to get all of the front room and stairwell done as well as part of the hallway. We could have done more but between someplaces needing more sanding and mudding and needing food we just got done what we could.

Later after Dad had left and Brett came home, Brett and I finished the edges and corners, fixed our ceiling fan so it wasn't falling down and painted the last wall in the stairwell.

It is amazing what a little paint and mud can do to a house, it looks almost new now and makes us more exicted to get other things done.
