We reached the painting stage Tuesday evening. Beginning with the kid's bathroom. While painting is still new everyone wanted to help. The children are finding out it's not quite as easy as it looks.
Yesterday we were on a race against the clock to get as much painted before the installers come to put vinyl in the bathrooms. I was painting the ceiling in the tub alcove of the Master Bath. Since I was looking up, I was not looking down -obviously. I took a step and suddenly nothing was beneath one foot but air. I forgot about the hole in the floor for the plumbing. Before I knew what happened, I was dangling in the crawlspace. I scraped my right side on the tub deck as I went down. I got a nasty brush burn along my ribs and an impressive "goose egg". It hurts to move. If this post sounds disjointed it's because I didn't sleep at all last night due to the pain. At first my side hurt so bad that I didn't feel anything else, but I'm starting to ache in many places.
Today vinyl was installed in the Master Bath & Kids Bath. If all goes well, we may have the kids bathroom up & running again by the weekend.
We will be working on painting for the next week or 2. Volunteers are welcome; expert painters not required. We are thanking for all the help we get because I'm not moving very fast since the great fall.

Oh my. So sorry. I'll try to call you later on, but I won't be coming today since we are getting supper company. Hopefully next week...
I feel for you but I can't reach you. Hope you're healing.
Time for another update!! Here is my scoop for next week. Monday I have R. and Tuesday is sewing plus I'm making supper for Lonnies in the evening, so it may be W. or T. till I can come next week?! By that time you will probably be done?
