The first Saturday of August WAS THE DAY!!
The day we finally moved Grant to his new house!
No, it is not “finished” – but there was enough of the big work done that Grant could move in and have a place to lay his head.
We have had such willing helpers these last few months – including these two cuties!!
After the guys had finished skim coating and sanding the walls and ceilings, they sprayed texture, primer and then paint on them.
The skim coating and sanding took a long, long time because they were working on it usually from 9 p.m. to midnight on the nights they were available!
The spraying process, however, went quickly and the results were dramatic!
Don’t they look like a professional crew?!
I really like the paint colors Grant chose!
Lots of grey walls, and then white walls in the hallways and kitchen.
They also sprayed the fireplace black.
It is awesome!
A few weeks back on a Sunday afternoon we all went down as a family to do some work together to try to get it across the finish line.
There was a lot of cleaning that needed done, the trim needed painted, all the new light and fan fixtures needed installed – just to name a few of the things on the huge list!
It was a FUN day!
We love to work together!
Grant and Addie were on the trim painting team!
Eliza, Tate and I were on the cleaning team!
Tate took this photo!
Chad was on the odd jobs and measuring windows and things team!
He also gave this parrot we found in the bathroom a funeral in a trash can, ha, ha!
Blake and Lane were on the light and fan fixtures team!
Please notice in the second photo the ones taking a break and having some cake!
Grant’s house is looking so good!
The paint looks much darker in these photos than it does in real life – especially on a more sunny day.
There were some kiddos who brought some books for break time.
The day we moved Grant in I took ONE photo.
I know!
Disappointing, right?
We were a skeleton crew that day and a smidge BUSY.
But I will have opportunity for more photos I am sure!
Now I will answer the question of the hour – YES, I CRIED.
Grant hugged me and told me, “It’s ok, Mom! I’m not going far!” which made me cry harder, ha, ha!
It’s ALL good though, because Grant’s house is wonderful, it is not far, and he is LOVING being a homeowner which makes his Mama very, very happy!
A new season!!
Even though I miss him, he comes over often – right at dinner time!!
Smart boy.
We are so happy for our Grant Evan!!!
CONGRATULATOINS ON YOUR NEW HOME, G MAN!!!
