*poof*

Just like that.

About an hour after I posted on Friday, the painter showed up. Just like I was hoping he would. Wishful thinking, good timing, self-fulfilling prophecy, good luck (good luck blog)...not sure what happened. It's just so nice to not be waiting any longer. Our house is now looking completely sad, as he sands and scrapes and removes everything he can to prep for the paint crew (those are storm windows he's bringing down.) I can't even share a picture with you, it's that bad. But, good thoughts ahead with the nice, crisp, white that they will apply!!

To Be Continued.
