Work Day 20/Calendar Day 26 - trimmed

Last night Jason and I put a coat of white on all the trim for the dining room and living room, in hopes that the contractor could attach it today so we can load the furniture back in this weekend. And the result:
More linear feet of trim to caulk, spackle, and repaint. It feels like that's all I've done for the past three years is paint freakin' trim. At least at this house we're using waterbased paint.

Oh, and Liza's been painting, too:
Yes, she did just write "LI" with no prompting or help from me. Why? Because she's brilliant, of course. We just won't discuss the fact that she stepped in the paint tray afterward, hmm-kay?

FYI: you can get a tray that snaps on the front of her easel, made of plastic so that it is easily cleaned (soak it or throw it in the dishwasher). It can have individual plastic paint cups on it or you can use dixie cups. An old grown-up button front shirt, put on backwards, makes an easily cleaned paint smock. A flannel backed tablecloth on the floor under the easel is a great drop cloth.
