Our First Project: Painting

One of the first projects we had to do came before we ever closed on the house.  Painting, painting and more PAINTING!!!

We had to paint the inside of the dairy barn, an old falling apart building, and what will be our chicken house because of risk of lead based paint.  We did this in 105 degree weather!  It was terrible and took several days.  We finally caved and went with the expense of renting a commercial paint sprayer.  I so wish we had done that on day one, it was worth every penny.

The Dairy Barn


It's a cute building from the outside, but the inside needed some serious work.
We had to start by removing all the stuff that had been piled in it over the years.
Then we went to scraping all the old peeling paint off.


Now let the painting begin!




I like to think of myself as "Sparkly" lol
