Along with painting inside the house, the house has wood siding, that needs stained. After getting the stain, Jed decided to start with the swingset. Here is Jed working on the swingset, with Jay and Jerry helping.
Moving day! What started out as just moving "the big stuff" turned into cleaning out the entire house from top to bottom. In a matter of hours. It was amazing. Thanks so much to our great helpers!
Curtis Albers, Derek Luedke, Jed, Carl Tharman, and Aaron Powell try to decide what is the best way to get a gun safe into the basement?
And after everything is moved, they decide to unpack and set up our new patio furniture. What a great crew!
A very happy Angela and Jed the day our furniture was finally delivered!
Even Jace helped move. Even if it was by sleeping so that I could put all the clothes from our closets in the truck and around him.
Being helpful again! Loved dragging cords around while I was trying to set things up.
And, the pink walls. Tinted primer. These walls were just about the end of the project. First the wallpaper had to be removed. Then we had to primer the walls. Then our friend Blaine Luedke came and skimmed the entire walls to fix the marks from taking off the wallpaper. Then he sanded. Then we wiped down the walls. Then we pink-primered. Then Blaine fixed a few more spots. Then the first coat of burgandy went up. Then the second coat. And with the second coat the paint ran and ruined it. So then we sanded again. And then our savior Gail Stevens who was painting some ceilings in the house came to our rescue and put new primer on. Then the first coat of burgandy. Then the second coat. And they were finished. Wowzers.
Not-very-good pictures, but a view of the living and dining room. After all the work, sweat, and tears that went into the dining room, it turned out perfect.
