I am pretty good at painting, but not free during the day. However, work is half an hour closer to you than home, so after work (I get out c. 5pm) works. (hinthint)

yay on forward motion!
You're taking lots n lots of pics of the progress right???

and skritch the dogs for me =) If my beloved hubby wasn't working so many hours I'd volunteer his butt over to your place to paint - he still owes doberkim a painted bedroom though LOL

absolutely saving pics :) They're on Andy's camera though and I haven't had the heart to nag him to upload yet, with all that's been going on.

LOL gosh it'd be a hike wouldn't it? I'm tired just thinking about it, I suggest sofa and a chilled beverage instead ;D

I'm really, really glad things worked out. Hopefully they'll be good and give your deposit back. Fingers crossed! It sounds like you've got some great progress on the new house. I can't wait to see pics of it when it's done!

[kimhotep]

ME TOO.

lol!
