Painting Party!

At least by calling it a painting party, I was able to trick people into coming. It was really my way of enlisting free (minus the price of pizza) help to get my basement's first coat of paint on, and boy was it effective! :)Eduardo striking a threatening pose. My camera heeded his warning and remains an unpainted photo-operat :)
Brent (The CONTROLLER) Jones putting some mean green on the living room wall. It was fun watching his daughter get involved which meant the occasional horse play... or was that Sandra? Mack striking a pose with a tray and brush. The aftermath of the pose was her proclaiming "paint everywhere, paint everywhere." I think she let the tray tip a little bit :(
Thank you Karen for letting Bryan come and play. He and Eduardo did a beautiful job in Leckie's room to be.
Wyatt brought the whole crew for moral support. It was appreciated and they showed a genuine interest the project.
Doug didn't really do much, but he was there... and without him, much of the pizza purchased for the "party" wouldn't have disappeared. :) (Just kidding! Doug helped a ton, and stayed late to help with clean up even, so at least 2 kudos to Doug)
Wyatt had told us all that he used to paint in a professional capacity... As soon as the paint and rollers came out however his story changed to "I actually never did paint." Truth be told, you wouldn't have known it.

A HUGE thanks to those who came and joined the fun this evening! I offer a very full "If you ever need anything" and left over pizza for lunch tomorrow as a thank you.

The Carpet installers are coming on Wednesday which will mark a huge milestone towards the house being done. It's only a bit of finish work that will need to be done once the carpet is down, and the house will be ready to move in to! SWEET!
