Tape and Trim

It’s been a very long week – we’ve scrambled to work on Mom’s new house.  The goal is to move her and the big stuff in this coming weekend so we have a lot of painting to do.  Though we did get started. Hubby painted the walls and I followed up on the trim. Of course first I taped off all the baseboards so we don’t have to paint them again. I also started out cleaning all the dust from the repairs. There was a large sitting area in the room originally. I know from all the houses I’ve seen in the area that there must have been an option to make that either a closet or a sitting area. That or the previous owners tore out the closet – we put it back.  This made for a LOT of dust. I basically swept twice, dust mopped twice and then really mopped to have a clean floor for painting. 

Hubby snapped a shot of me up on the ladder. And I’ve included a shot of the area before, the closet under construction and that wall painted after – didn’t get a good shot of the whole room but will! 

​I used to do this stuff all the time when my kids were little. I was a stay at home mom and doing house projects myself, I would call the money I saved my salary- LOL ! As a result I know how to do a whole lot of stuff – even basic – and I mean REALLY basic – electrical. And I actually enjoyed it because I’m a one and done kind of gal. Love seeing the before and after of hard work, but hate things that have to be done over and over, like laundry LOL.
 
Any how – off to the races!
