Garage cleanup? Garage Disaster!

    What a great Conference weekend we had! Great messages/guidance from our Prophet, apostles and other church leaders and also a great time to declutter the garage and make room for a couple new motorbikes. Greg really went to town cleaning up the garage and found just enough room in the garage for the Groms. Then......just two days later, he had a bit of an accident!

 

 
    I requested Greg do a little touch up painting of the basement walls that have had patch work on them for more years then I care to count. He grudgingly agreed and searched through all our many cans of paint and found the right one and thought he'd better do a bit of mixing before painting. He decided to make his own mixing device using a rope and a drill. All was going well until he decided to increase the speed on the drill and all HELL broke loose in the garage! Yellow paint EVERYWHERE! There will never be a day in the future where we won't have some yellow splatter in the garage and on the car to remind us of this SPECIAL EVENT!

These photos don't really do it justice but thank goodness those bikes weren't in the garage. And thankfully the Harley had a cover over it.


The car was my first order of business while Greg started the garage clean up. Thankfully it was water based paint!


 


Greg did have to help me reach the top of the car where I couldn't reach.


Thank goodness for Andy who came and diffused the stress a bit.

  Small tangent:  We got a preview of these cute girls and their Easter photo shoot mid week.
 
    Thankfully Greg didn't let the paint disaster stop him from the painting projects and he's currently painting all the house doors and has finished painting all the patched walls.

Just had to document these guys literally watching paint dry.

    So that's how we spent our Spring break and General Conference weekend. Now on to the last 7 weeks of school and only 16 sleeps until the Aussie's arrive. (Fingers crossed.)
