August 12th through August 18th

August 12^th through August 18^th:  Monday Mom went to work and I finished taping off the cabinets and everything else we did not want to get paint on.  I realized we did not account for how we were going to finish the ends of the backsplash and so I had to install some more moldings so that we can die the tile back splash into something.  Then putty the nail holes, sand and caulk so that they also would be ready to paint.  There are always so many little details that need to be done before you can start spraying paint.  Badger, Moose and Ellie helped me putty the nail holes and then sand the 65 rollout trays, so they would also be ready to paint.  

Cabinets masked off and the music/craft room is ready for the modings to be painted.

Fireplace and cabinets masked off.

Windows taped off and ready to be painted.

Tuesday I finally felt like everything was ready to paint and I got the first coat of paint on the moldings by 11:00am.  Mom went to work and I started painting the rollout trays.  Then I started over and painted the moldings again.  I finished up at 6:30pm.

Friday I got all the moldings taped off so that the walls could be painted and I got the first coat of paint on the walls.  I also got the marble cut for the laundry room and the corner cabinet.  Mom went over and tended Bryce and Kate's kids in the afternoon.  She took them along with a few other grandkids to a new park by Bountiful High and they made boats and then floated them in the creek.  The kids had a blast.  We went over to Bryce and Kate’s house for dinner and to celebrate our grandson, Stanford’s birthday.  He turned 9.

Tilda is a cutie, she made popsicles.

Playing with their boats was a lot of fun.

Saturday John B. helped me get a second coat of paint on the walls. We then took another load of trash to the dump and then started installing the vinyl floor.  We went to see our granddaughter, Ellie, perform a song at her voice recital.  She did a great job.

Sunday we went to church and Ellie spoke in sacrament meeting.  She really did a nice job.  We drove up to Silver Lake by Brighton and had our monthly family dinner.  Mom made pulled pork and we really enjoyed being together and being out in nature.

We had lots of company.

What a week!  This week you can really see big changes and you can envision what the remodel is going to look like.
