Of all our guests this summer, nobody's burned more elbow grease than Grandma Lynda. She asked for a project when she came, and boy did we give her one!
We've been wanting to paint the trim white in our new home for a while now, and we decided that would be the perfect project for us while she was here. So we cashed in our credit card points for gift cards, got the supplies, and had everything ready when she got here. Four days of sanding, stripping, taping, priming, painting, painting, and painting later, we had a greater part of the first floor done.
I think Grandma worked harder than any of us, showing she'd painted a few things before in her time. But aside from that, it was great to have her here to enjoy her company, keep Sarah's family familiar to her, and hear of her travels throughout New England. Thanks so much for coming, Grandma!

It's been a while and the trim project is progressing more slowly. By the time Jacki and Mike came into town, we had all the common areas of the house done. We decided to take a break then until all our company and travels are done, and start again in September. But the house looks very different already!
