Painting... and Painting... and Painting

Home update!

Saturday was a our biggest "painting party" yet at the new house. Six friends joined us to take care of the last few rooms that still needed it. (One of them also helpfully crawled under the deck -- he found a way to fit -- to cap that sprinkler head.) We painted the remaining rooms upstairs and the basement...

...but couldn't quite call it "done." Sunday, we had to take care of the stairwell down into the basement, which took a little creative ladder use. My parents came over to lend a hand that day; my mom helped with touch-ups and edges around the house, while my dad helped out with one more wrinkle in the sprinkling system.

We still can't quite call the painting "done." We're heading back over tonight to paint the bannisters, and sand down a couple of patches we've had to go over in the wall a few times. The latter will need texture paint. Which means they'll still need actual paint. Which means no, we still won't quite be done. It's like the finish line keeps moving slightly further away.

But really, we're right there. Really.
