The best part about painting…. being done…
We got to do some painting this weekend after the drywall contractor finished spraying the texture on all the new sheetrock on Friday – we ONLY have 7 more gallons to go!! LOL
Here are a few pix from Friday (texturing the new drywall)… crazy!
My mind is still boggled over the fact that all this happened over a broken pipe! I don’t wish this on anyone!!
Silver linings to this whole ordeal:
- I got an additional hose spigot in the backyard with the new piping
- we ran phone wire through all the holes and put in 2 additional phone lines
- the downstairs powder room is getting a much needed face lift after the 5 holes in there were repaired and the whole room was retextured
- most of the downstairs will have a new coat of paint
So.. it’s not all bad… just a few weeks of total chaos and inconvenience and a ton of money. {sigh}
I’m in the midst of stamping my "Holiday Gift Class" samples, so will have goodies to share sometime this week!
Have a great week everyone!

Those photos speak volumes as to the magnitude of this entire mess. I can’t wait to see photos of your new walls with your Father’s paintings hanging on them again!
Good for you for looking at the silver lining !!!! I’m SO proud of you !!! Looking forward to seeing the finished pics…but no one is looking forward to that more than YOU !!!
Have a great day my friend

So glad you are coming to a finish! Good for you for finding a couple of bright spots in this whole mess!
Hi Patty! Glad its almost done!!!
My jewelry friend Patricia had a ‘party’ this weekend-WISH you couldve been there! She had so many awesome pieces made!!!
You are gonna LOVE your heart bracelets!!!
She mentioned your email when I was helping her figure out Paypal, and I went “I know Patty!!!” LOL
Hi Patty!
I feel for you…we had four roof leaks in two houses over the last three years…go figure…there is a silver lining in all of this…it will all be done before Thanksgiving! File under “Things to be grateful for…”…love your blog! Miss your parties!
Patty…you have the BEST attitude about all of the issues with your plumbing! I KNOW what a mess that drywall dust makes in the house from when we finished the basement in our new house…and that was BEFORE we moved in! Yikes!
Hey…the best thing would be not having to worry about cooking dinner!
Patty, good for you for looking at the silver lining – I admire that. Just think this too will pass and be just a memory to scrapbook about. LOL Have a better day.
