Lots of Paint

I got to the house a little late due to a dentist appointment.  Dad had started working on removing the base cabinets in the kitchen.  Mom was stirring paint to do the study.  It took a bit of doing, but we eventually loosened the cabinets from the wall.  We were about to work on taking it outside when we thought to do some measuring.  Turns out, the corner part was too wide to fit, so we wouldn't be able to swing it around like we thought.  While Dad and I separated the two pieces, Mom went to work painting the study.


Dad and I eventually got the cabinets out, so the kitchen is now totally empty.


At this point, Dad and I went to the store to get some plumbing and various other supplies.  Upon our return, Dad went to work replacing the turn off valves for the kitchen sink and I helped Mom paint the study.  As you can see, she was a bit whimsical with her brush.


About the time we were finishing the study, Dad needed to go to the store.  When he was attempting to replace the valves, the pipes, from being corroded, cracked.  He cut  into the wall and removed the pipes.  Time for him to go back to the store.  So, we all took a break before we began again.  The study looks good, and will likely look even better when the paint is totally dry, instead of spotchily dry.


After break, Dad got to work fixing the pipes (success this time).  Mom and I painted the living room.  Dad also did some patchwork in the kitchen.  Hopefully, we'll be able to spray the orange peel texture Saturday afternoon.  We'll see.  Living room looks good - lots of progress today!
