People, Better than Zombies
This weekend my mom, Jack & Fidge, and Laura spent Sunday afternoon helping us paint our nefarious mistress' main hall, foyer, and Gideon's bedroom. I spent most of the day trying to finish off the prep work with my lovely wife's assistance.
Here is a hall wall before we scrubbed it down.
Again, closer.
And after a good scrub and de-tacking.
The first bit of priming. In case you are wondering, rollers worked like a charm on the wall boards.

A shot of the hall with two coats of primer on the wainscotting & trim and one coat of paint on the wall.
Again, with me lurking in the background.

Some people keep skeletons in their closets, Gideon has a grandpa in his.

The cold I spent all of last week fighting came back with a vengence Saturaday. I'm just now starting to feel better albeit exhausted. I'll try post some more when my brain isn't cased in cotton.

Nice work crew you had going there. I don't suppose they're available for next weekend by any chance?
Is that a triple-sashed, floor-to-ceiling window? Never seen anything quite like it.
we have the exact same moldings, plinth pieces and all. maybe that isn't too remarkable, but it's exciting to me. :)
Chris, I'm sure you could work something out with them. Think beer, whiskey, and free room and board for hard labor. However, you might wait until summer when Arkansas is hot as hell. As far as they are concerned, Canada is "colder than a witch's tit" this time of year, so you probably won't see them before June.
Brenda, yes it is and I haven't either. I have a full post coming for you on it. And, in doing some research for it, the story has become even weirder.
Gnewfry, I don't know about the remarkable part, but I think it is pretty cool. I wonder if they were catalogue ordered, made locally from pattern books or what.
