Progress on "The Project"

The drywall/mud/tape/texture was finished mid May and amidst many other things going on in our lives we were able to get most of the basement painted. But then we lost momentum.


Dad getting the primer ready. We rented a spray gun, which was amazingly messy, to do the primer and the ceiling paint. The two of us were struggling a bit dealing with painting and 3 kids. Luckily our brother-in-law came to help us finish and get the spray gun back on time!
We had to roll the whole thing right after we sprayed it to make it smooth. Notice our biggest helper. She always wants to be right in the action.
The finished product. My awesome hubby rolled the whole thing, 2 coats, by himself!

Painting the girls' new room lavender. We let the kids "help" and it was a lot of fun to do together for FHE.

Thanks to my great in-laws we have some momentum to finish this basement project. They drove up from California this past weekend to help paint rooms, doors, baseboards, trim, etc., hang doors and trim, and do electrical work. We always work them way too hard when they come and are definitely looking forward to the day they come to visit and we can just hang out and go to the zoo (or something else just as fun and exciting)!





We still have a lot of caulking, painting, putting on of trim and baseboards to do, but to see doors on the walls makes it seem within reach.
