Lucka's Birthday/House Painting

We celebrated Lucka's (my sister's) bday the way she wanted it to be celebrated - by working!!! Her birthday is on the 8th of June and she was going to return to Czech on the 20th and she wanted to see the whole house painted. And in order to that... we pretty much had to keep on painting every freaking day. We started on Friday the 5th and we finally finished on Sunday the 14th. We painted from sunup to sundown (well at least on the weekend) - it was crazy. I was looking forward to going to work as I could get some rest there then return home and keep on painting. But it was soooo worth it. Lucka & I finished the lower level by hand while Chris was replacing some parts of the siding and we all worked on the upstairs together. Lucka & I doing the details while Chris was rolling after us. The last day the 14th we started at 8 and finished by 9pm. A long day... but the most gratifying day as we finished it all!!!
We and all the people who followed our progress were amazed at how fast we were moving along. We all loved the results and now we have one of the only two green houses in the area... all the rest are booooring shades of gray.
