We Hired a Guy For That!

Not desiring to wait the weeks my recovery will take, we called a painter to come and work on our other bedroom needing paint. Hudson and Bethany are sharing a room now and so each got to pick a color: blue for H and green for B.
The problem was we had promised the kids they could help with the painting and Bethany wasn't letting us out of that. So we hired her out to the painter as his helper. Here she got her first lesson on using the roller.
She took to it quickly but the painter was twice as fast as a normal person so we tried to get out of his way ASAP so he could get the work done!
We got a few 'after' shots but since the room isn't actually put back together, they aren't really 'after' shots now are they? Maybe they are more like 'during' shots.
Here the contrast can at least be seen a bit.
The main reason I wanted to hire a guy -- I had no ladder for this area. The ceiling fan is hanging from around 10 feet, everything about that is in the dizzy territory. The kind of feeling you only get if someone gives you free tickets to see a UK game in Rupp Arena.
So at least for now the painting is done, though, I'm sure more is on the horizon. With paint there is always one more wall to be be done...
