I thought I might be stiff after my weekend of painting but that is not the case. I do still have quite a bit of paint on me, though. That oil-based paint seems to have to wear off. I painted the ceilings and had a lot of paint spatter on me.
It was good to see Lisa, Richard and Mom and we got a lot done in the new house. A lot was done before I got there, Richard has been hard at work. We were able to get to the painting quite quickly because he had pulled up the old carpets and removed most of the baseboards and moulding and light switches, etc. Mom picked nice colours and once the flooring is down and baseboards are replaced it will look really good.
Saw L&R's house for the first time. What a great house. That kitchen is to die for.
Mom's new back yard is great. There is not much planted there but that is good for someone who likes to garden. Mom can make it her own yard. But it is very private and the large trees in the neighbourhood make it seem as if you are out in the country. We were sitting on the back patio taking a break on Saturday when we saw a mom and dad quail and 12 or 13 babies skitter across the yard and spend a lot of time pecking around just a few feet away from us.
I took my camera but the batteries were dead and I just didn't get them replaced so no pics. But Geoff and I went on Google maps to find the house, then switched to street view and he could see it! Try searching L&R's address. We could even see their truck in the driveway.
