It's been incredibly frustrating to be on bedrest just as we closed on our new house. There is so much to do. By virtue of being pregnant, I knew I wouldn't be able to do much, but I still thought I would be able to do some. Nope. Nada. It sucks.
My Dad was in town for a week, the exact week I was hospitalized. That's right, I was admitted the day he arrived and discharged the day he left. So much for family time in Virginia. He did however spend a ton of time painting our family room. Let me first explain this room. It's not just a 'paint the walls and trim kinda room'. No, in addition to the walls, I wanted the ceiling, a huge brick fireplace, crown molding, trim (including 6 large windows), 2 wood doors, 2 metal doors, and 1/2 wall wood paneling painted. Hence the need for serious help. He was able to get the bulk done and then give Chris directions to finish. Thanks Dad! And Chris! Here's a sneak peak at the, incomplete, transformation.
Oh, and if anyone wants that pretty gold fireplace cover it's yours.
Fortunately, there are many things I can do right here from my designated position. I can set up appointments, shop via the the world wide web, and even supervise all of Chris's efforts. More pictures to come...
