The garage is painted--can we call it done??!!!

Our hard working mudder/painter Darryl kept going all this week and each day was one step closer to being finished.   A bit more mud, tape, more mud, sanding, etc.  Then it was time for the first coat of primer on Thursday.  Good thing Rob was up in town, as Darryl was running out of primer and Rob had to do a Home Depot run to get more. Then Friday was the final coat of paint and then Rob and Darryl cleaned the floor--and I did a run to the Co-op to get a rubber squeegee so they could wash the water the out. And Saturday afternoon (as we were prepping for a big dinner party), Darryl comes back to install the rubber baseboards.  The place looks sharp.


And as we did three years ago when we got the garage enclosed, we had to christen the garage--back then, our dinner guests sabered bottles of champagne.  This year, totally spontaneous, our friend Herb sabered a big corked bottle of beer.  Spectacular!!!!!


Rob had to leave back for Regina so we couldn't start moving stuff back in.  The stuff is still under a tarp in the backyard and luckily we have had no snow, so nothing is buried yet.  Soon though.


Inventory of what's left on Monster Garage:  get shelving and racking; move stuff off the lawn; move stuff out of the shed on the deck; move stuff out of the workshop; put trim around the window and door... and finally... enjoy a job well done!
