Weekend Warriors (and Warriorettes)

We had some much appreciated help a few weekends ago. Some very good friends of our from church made the three hour trek down for a long weekend to contribute their know-how, muscles, and tools to a few of our bigger projects. It was just the kick start we needed, and what a fun time!

We got the bedroom wood ceiling scraped of wallpaper and heavy liner (a job I had been dreading, let me tell you!) and the guys got the closet subfloor down and the new attic knee wall/built-in shelving supports up. We shared stories, meals, DIY tips, and a lot of love in those few days. Maybe we'll have a chance to return the favor soon!

    How nice! Is that the master bedroom you were working on?

    The room Edie and I were working on is the second upstairs guest room. The guys were working on the MBA across the hall. It will have it's own difficult ceiling to work on one day soon (installing vaulted tongue and groove pine)!

    Speaking from experience, you employed the help of some experienced laborers whom I love and adore. :)

    They really enjoyed themselves. Your place is REALLY coming along!

    They certainly are knowledgeable! It sounds like our house is quite similar to the old farmhouse in KY where you grew up. I'm glad all that home improvement at a young age wasn't aversion therapy for you ;-)
