The basement is partly painted!

Well, the guys finished mudding and sanding on Friday and then Jeff and I went down and put a coat of primer on the walls that night. We stayed up way too late doing it! I was so tired in the morning but it was so nice to see the primer on. Then Saturday we put another coat on and did the bathroom, closets and ceilings and then did a second coat of primer on the walls at night. Then Sunday afternoon we put a coat of the top coat colour on and it looks awesome! We were going to do more Sunday night but we were both way too exhausted. Every muscle in my body hurt and my joints really hurt too, especially my hips from standing up so much. I calculated it and we each painted for 12 hours on the weekend! Here's some pics of it!

Here's my big belly while I was painting, Jeff thought it was funny to take it!
The family room top coat (it looks really orange, but it's not!)

This is a close up of a piece of trim and one floor plank with the wall,
gives you an idea of the finished product!)
The same spot, just further out!
(this is more what the colour looks like in person)
And here's Kayla helping to paint the bathroom closet!!!
So cute!! (she's wearing one of my t-shirts!)

We plan on doing some more painting tonight, finish the 2nd coat on the walls and start the basement. Hopefully it will be all done by this weekend! And then Jeff is going to start on the drop ceiling, install the floor and then put the trim and doors on and it will be time to move in!! (Mind you that probably won't be for a couple of months yet!)
