Apparently we have a thing for buying homes that have never been painted since they were built AND are in dire need of a repainting. When we bought our first house in 2007, we immediately painted the entire thing by hand within the first few weeks of ownership. Since I was pregnant with Lia and didn't have any children to care for, I was able to help Ron paint the entire thing with the help of my parents and even some friends. However, this second time around with house #2 was a different case. With a newborn, toddler, and six-year old to care for, I wasn't able to step outside to help Ron once which meant that he had to paint the entire house alone. And by hand. And in the blazing heat most of the time. With the exception of our family trip to Priest Lake and hosting Lola, Ron spent most of his month off outside on one ladder or another transforming our house from a dull and worn out tan to a fresh and clean, light grey. The poor guy. But he stuck with this massive project like a pro and got all four sides painted before heading back to work today. Unfortunately, he still has to paint the white trim (with a new shade of white) which he will work on a little bit at a time after work each day in August before school officially starts back up at the end of the month and we lose him until next June. Hopefully he will get it all done and be able to breath a massive sigh of relief. What a guy! Good job, papa!
