Week 15: We don't need to ever do that again

This past weekend we painted every surface of the house...twice.

It was great spending time in the house and seeing the room colors we selected come to life. This weekend, however, was not complete without many trips to Lowe's and Borgman's Paint. For a while, it almost felt like our first Thanksgiving all over again when we made three trips to the grocery store, or our first Christmas when we thought we'd stop by the grocery store after church, only to discover it closed early on Christmas Eve and had to settle for the meats and cheeses at the local gas station (we wouldn't recommend that last one).

Alas, we were able to still complete the painting, but not without some difficulty. The most trying location was the wall above the stairs, we later affectionately referred to as "walking the plank". The photo below shows just how "fun" it was! Good thing we work for an insurance company!

I feel your pain. The next time we consider painting, I think I will staple carpet to the wall instead.
