Painting of SMDT, with minor hick ups we have given a bit of a much-needed face-lift. A donation was made with instruction to do some home repairs, this sounds good to me!
Paint was purchased and roller and a TERRIBLE brush… with many hands (the kids) I knew it would be interesting. Some of them turned out to be better helpers then the grown ups! They want to do a good job and take their time looking for approval; I was quick to assign the title “big boss” to Paulo. He was thrilled to accept this title.
We did not have trays, or many of the needed materials to do a good job, but we made it work. And as the sun went down the final paint strokes showed a job well done. The following day we painted the back porch, which is the kitchen. It also looks much nicer!
