Paint, math and more!
My husband took a few days off this week with the intention of repainting our living room. Our boys were excited to help, that is until they had to calculate the square footage of the walls so we knew how much paint to buy.  After the hard part was done they thought the painting could begin. Dad burst that bubble though when he told them the walls had to be washed first. Then the spackling and then FINALLY the painting began. Actually the priming began. Everyone but me got involved. Dad did most of the cut in work, DS1 and DS2 rolled primer on and DS7 had his own little brush to cut in around the outlets and heating vents. I washed furniture, molding and swept the floor. I'm a terrible painter! I can't seem to even pick up a brush without getting paint all over.  So yesterday the whole house smelled like old gym socks and today my walls are a blotchy white. My DH and I are going out this morning to buy the paint, we picked out a sort of light pumpkin color and then the guys will finish painting, hopefully it will only take one coat. I am going to wash the slipcovers and drapes. By the end of the day the room should look completely new! |
