Productive Day

Today was a very productive day! My wonderful in-laws came over to help me clean up the basement because we have friends coming to say with us in 10 short days. We are busy this weekend and we work on school during the evening, so I just didn't know when else this was going to get down. Well, we got the storage stuff all shoved in to one corner and everything vacuumed, and since we had the paint already, we decided to paint too! I put my father-in-law to work while I did the cracks and edges, and in about three hours we had 75% of the basement painted. And in a couple of days when that dries, we will move everything over and paint the rest. Then I will be able to get the guest bed set up, but down a couple of carpet remnants, and we will be set! I am so happy to have this project (almost) done because now that it is painted we won't track all the dust upstairs and it will sweep up easily. Hooray!




Even though in the pictures the paint looks like cement color, it is a pretty grey/blue. I quite enjoy it.
