I also painted Oliver's closet gray. Will do one more coat and the ceiling still needs done. My dad has been painting the trim that is already in there. He's also working on the window sills and door frames in all the bedrooms. Just when I think the trim done, a pile of unpainted trim shows up.
Josh is filling the hole in the family room where they cut out to re-pipe the plumbing. He was mixing everything by hand for a while then yesterday bought a cement mixer and spend most of the day putting it together. It should really speed things up.
We have decided to enlist the help of the Amish. We plan on hiring them to hang the kitchen cabinets and frame and maybe drywall the downstairs bathroom and laundry room. They will be able to get it done a lot quicker than we would, and probably have more experience. Josh had to visit an Amish blacksmith for a lawnmower part and asked him if he knew anyone that could help us. He said probably his cousin. Josh gave him our numbers and my parent's address. There are Amish that live all up and down our road, so it would be really convenient. We haven't heard anything back yet. But, that was only 2 days ago. That's one reason he has been working on getting the hole covered. If they happen to get back to us and can start soon, we don't want to be like, "Well, we actually aren't ready for you yet..." That also means I have to paint the kitchen ceiling again soon and I still need to do the blue on the top of the walls. I will probably do that if I ever finish the stupid rails in the dining room.
