No Drips, No Stains, No Spills!
The Guzmans are painting wizards. They just swooped into New Braunfels, i.e. Rebekka's house, specifically and soon to be Bekka Jaye and Roy's bedroom, and whizzed into action! I have never seen such a production line. Here comes Roy (that's our Roy's father Roy) with a ladder, and the women, Terri (Roy's Mom) and sister Becca, not to be confused with fiance, Bekka Jaye, with the paint, tarp, and newspapers and brushes. They went to work immediately using blue tape to cover anything they didn't want their paint to accidentally swipe on, like the woodwork, or glass, or doorknobs (great idea).
Then they laid down the plastic, and newspapers, and got the ladders in place. Now we see the paint. They shake and open the paint.....TA-DA! There it is! A lovely new shade of taupe with just a hint of green to cover the purple that Bekka is relenting because Roy understandably could not abide! (Don't worry, we understand Roy, we still have the plum carpet in her bedroom at home...)
So, slip, slap, slop, and there you have it! A beautiful new bedroom for the soon-to-be bride and groom. Now to just get everything moved back in! Whoa! What a job that will be! But we have time to carefully make this into a room that both of them will enjoy in a coupla months.
Me? I am only allowed to paint the insides of closets, so on this day, I was in charge of food. Mammaw and I worked on the fixings and the rest. All in all, I guess you could say it was a very successful workday. Thanks again to Terri, Roy and Becca. Yall are the greatest. And Roy and Bekka Jaye put in their time, too, that's for sure! It's great to see families working together in such a loving and easy manner. That's how God put us here, as families, and He smiles down on us as we honor Him through our love for each other.

Where is the finished pic??? Looks fun!We needed them a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteThey still have to paint the ceiling, so they haven't really finished. The rest of their house has everything from that bedroom pulled into it...it's like a disaster zone! But it will come back together! That have exactly 2 months today!!! They've gotta get going now!!!
