We're a couple of days behind on the prep work for painting the house (thank you kidney stone - NOT!) but now we're back on track.  We're still in the process of putting the trim around the windows and caulking every crevice imaginable but we should be able to finish that tomorrow.  Then we need to prime the bare wood (window sills and eaves) and cover all windows and doors with plastic.  And, oh yeah, spray the sawdust/dirt off with the compressor hose ... and then we should be able to actually apply some color!  Here's a photo of Sheelagh and her sister Denise installing trim on the window at the top of the stairs in the master bedroom.  We rented the lift to save ourselves from having to move scaffolding and/or ladders around the house - smartest decision yet!!  (Thanks Denise, for filling in for me while I gave birth to my 4th stone!)
