Personally, I don’t think the word “party” should ever be associated with any sort of labor, but since that’s what Randy is calling it, and I must admit it possesses a pleasant bit of alliteration, I will call it a party, too.<\/p>\n
Randy’s father arrived from Virginia yesterday and by the time I got home from work they’d already spackled the first two floors, installed a light fixture in a bathroom, assembled the dining table for the roof deck, and began taping the kitchen. Not too shabby.<\/p>\n
The work continued after I got there and I nearly finished taping the living room\/dining room in preparation for the painting party tomorrow. I also helped Randy install another light fixture in the guest bathroom. Today, Randy and his father will continue spackling\/taping the third floor and will go out to purchase the paint.<\/p>\n
From what I know, there will be a total of six people painting tomorrow. Our goal is to at least finish the first and second floors. If we make it to the third floor, woohoo!<\/p>\n
On Sunday, we’re planning to drive to Newport to tour a mansion or two. We’ll also meet up with my parents down there so that they can finally meet Randy’s father. Should be fun. Now I would call that<\/strong> a party over painting…but what do I know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Personally, I don’t think the word “party” should ever be associated with any sort of labor, but since that’s what Randy is calling it, and I must admit it possesses a pleasant bit of alliteration, I will call it a party, too.
