Brush with greatness

For those that like to watch paint dry (especially after applying it to the wall) come over to our house.

Last night Wendy and I did a little bit of renovating in Joy's room. We cleaned out the room. Of course that means the other spare room is now a junk room. I guess when we finish one room we will move to another room. My brother and his girlfriend came over to help us. I picked up some BBQ plates from a fundraiser for dinner.

My brother and his girlfriend were a big help last night. After I arrived home and before Wendy arrived, I took the leftover painting supplies we had. I did an inventory. We had enough to get started. We for some reason had a bunch of primer left over. Wendy and I cannot figure out why. On the bright side, it is something we do not have to buy. We had a few brushes, one rollers, and a few used liners. I then moved most of the boxes Wendy had packed out of the room. See previous paragraphs for details. Then my bro and his girlfriend arrived. They helped remove outlet covers and tape the walls.

After this Wendy arrived and we at the BBQ plates. Then it was time to go to work. We had enough primer, even though it was old, to finish the room. At least the first stage. It did not take us anytime at all. The room is pretty small, but they were fast. My bro's girlfriend had the roller and made quick work of the walls. My bro was on one side getting the spots near the ceiling. I was on the other struggling to say in the lines. You can tell the nice coverage of the roller and then my weak brush strokes.

I think today Wendy and I will purchase the paint. We might try and tackle the painting today. My brother and his girlfriend have other plans so they will not be able to help. Fortunately, Wendy is pretty good with a roller. I hope we have the success that we had last night.
