Painting the farmhouse: Part 2

Here are the latest pictures of the 2nd painting crew (Joe, me, Chris, Jim and Megan). We only have a little spot left back above the kitchen area. (By the way, Megan didn't drive the tractor but was in charge of lifting Chris up or down in the bucket. :) And let me say, she did an excellent job! )

We also painted the dining room! I'll put pictures of that on the blog when I get some taken. It looks WAY brighter. We still need to get a new light, but even with the old light, it looks bigger and brighter. The ceiling took 2 coats of paint, and the walls needed priming and then 2 coats. I also painted the little desk by the phone---a dark brown/black. It looks good. I've painted the "piano room" so now the next painting will be starting on the walls up the steps, then the bedrooms upstairs. My goal is to be done with the painting before I go back to teaching in August.
