We decided to go for it on a spur of the moment decision. Last weekend we asked our favorite painting contractor Josh Stonebrook (if your looking for a painter) to give us an estimate on painting the Living room, Kitchen, and Hallway. The price was right and he started Monday morning. I should have taken some photos of the place all masked off with the majority of the painting done when we got home from work. The garage door was left open for ventilation and the ceiling fans were running to help air it out. The only problem with that was Sunday the weather turned cold with a sudden drop in temperature. So, it was a bit cold in the house when we got home.
Since the kitchen was all masked off we went out to dinner and Anna got to do her homework at Dos Coyotes. After dinner we decided we had to have some heat and gingerly unwrapped the thermostat to turn on the heater. When morning came we decided we had to go out to breakfast so we hit Starbucks before heading off to school and work.
Tonight, when we returned home all the masking was removed and the place looks pretty neat. Just one more day and we should have everything back in place with a fresh new color scheme!
Hopefully all the paint is cured and the fumes are gone by the time we bring Nana to our house this Friday to stay with us thru Christmas!
