Attack of the Honey Do's

I haven't been spending as much time posting updates as I would like, but I have a good reason. I have been under attack from the honey do bug and I am loosing the fight. It's that time of year where we try to catch up on all the things we've let slide during the summer, and man the list is long this year.

At the top of the list was painting our living room. We've been putting it off for a couple of years because of the headache we were expecting from the vaulted ceiling. It was as bad as we thought it would be. We worked on it fours days during the labor day weekend and it took the entire time.

Here is the start of a messy weekend, everything covered or taped or moved out of place.

Just to give an idea of how high we had to go...

And we can't leave out the stairs...

We were able to finish and get everything back in place. We have a little touch up to do, but all in all it looks ok. Right now, I am tired of thinking about paint so maybe in a few more days I will get some photos of the completed job. For now, I have to begin planning for all the yard work that needs to be done. Those darn honey do bugs...
