Painting

...has pretty much consumed our lives this week. David's Dad, Steve, has been so extremely helpful. We don't know what we would have done without him. Well, I imagine we would both still be at Home Depot trying to decide what supplies to buy.

He spent two long, full days painting the living/dining room and the kitchen, patching up several holes, and repairing some water damaged walls in the kitchen. In addition to being an extremely hard worker, he's a fabulous painter. He would encourage us by saying, "It's all in the wrist" and "Use the brush to your advantage." The walls look beautiful. It's amazing what some paint and a lot of time will do to a place. Thank you Steve and Barbara for all your help! We really, really appreciate it.
