The painter

Another day wielding our paint brushes!
Almost all walls with three coats now so the end is in sight!
Lydia has been doing her bit as you can see, back to placement tomorrow but she has been invaluable this weekend.
They are hoping to move back home next weekend.
Have been a bit lax commenting this last few days but have to get our priorities right!

Three good things:
1. The local DIY store open today for paint.
2. Able to mix sample pots & larger amounts of a well known expensive paint to the exact shade saving lots of pennies!
3. All cleaned up in pjs watching TV by the fire.

More hands make light work - or so they say Pat . Such a tidy worker - no spots or dribbles in sight !! I am sure they will be pleased to get back into the house next weekend ,Pat !

[Lou Ann]

What an undertaking! Nice to find a deal in paint, it’s so expensive these days.

[Penelope Ann]

Great progress

[Sarah Bremner]

Well done! Will be so lovely when they start getting things in place. And lovely to have a whole team helping out!!😄

[Wendy]

She certainly is doing a great job on the painstaking work along the trim. And - being younger she can get up easier than you or I!

[Joyce]

Great that you've nearly finished. It will be so satisfying when it's all done and they can move back in.

[Steve Pooley]

Great to see it coming together

[Babs]

What a task you have all had. It will be fabulous when it is all finished,

[Maggiemae]

You all seem to be so good at painting! I'm sure I would leave streaks and blobs everywhere! The pjs by the fire sounds good with hot chocolate?

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae no forgot the hot chocolate bit!

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing yes hoping so Babs! It's very big!

[Pat Knowles]

@stevepo Isn't it just!

[Pat Knowles]

@thistle Yes they are ready for home but been staying with Garths mum just up the road so it's been fine.

[Pat Knowles]

@farmreporter You got it in one Wendy! We said today we should have had gardeners kneelers!

[Pat Knowles]

@sarah19 We have died to do our bit but it's been a long slog Sallie but builders have been marvellous!

[Pat Knowles]

@pennystot Getting there Penelope!

[Pat Knowles]

@louannwarren Yes isn't it just, they paid £71. 00 for just ten litres of the copy paint , terrible price really!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Yes she's a tidy painter Beryl, we have tried to be tidy with no paint spilt on the new tiles although they are very easy to clean I must say! Will be a while until the final finishing is done though. Move in then do it gradually as funds come in again.

[Jane Pittenger]

Three coats! Wow. She looks like the perfect painter

[Judith Johnson]

Looking good. Yes I've been painting today too. I'll be doing three coats too as it's new plaster

[KWind]

The space is looking good. I love the floor!

[James Verdi]

It is always good to have help with projects. Looks like a sunny day.

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady ours is new plaster too Judith, not the easiest to get covered!

[Pat Knowles]

@kwind Yes the floor is great Kim, I like the way it goes up the sides!

[Pat Knowles]

@jimmyveee Thank you James.

[Pat Knowles]

@jgpittenger The youngest & the most agile!!

[Hazel]

I remember doing this - do not want to do it now!
