Color's a-coming

We'd toyed with the idea of taking a tiny family vacation - maybe running to the beach - during painting. Another night or two with overwhelming fumes might crush the buzz of getting things done.

Painters showed up and got right to work scraping

and caulking. I tried to get all our receipts entered while Wendy and kids packed to get away for a few days. Decided a modified "staycation" would be smarter, cheaper, and still relaxing. Key was to get away as a family before Wendy has to get back to school. August 1. Lake Lanier and possibly Helen look like good prospects.

Contacted Electrician, HVAC, and Plumber to see when they could get back to finish up their tasks but don't have anything scheduled yet. Getting close to the finish line but this could be the toughest part.
