Armed with rollers, Lori, right, and Sarah covered the living room walls while Dave attacked the bedrooms. I took on the meticulous task of lining the trim.
And new on the home renovation runways is the latest in painting footwear: Peter Pan swashbuckling boots! (tres chic)
While the ladies loved the social aspect of the work - Dave found his competitive stride, increased his intensity and shortly after this photo was taken, he snapped the handle of the roller.
Like any good work crew, we found our motivation from a couple of imports ...
It was great having help from our good friends. We laughed and we had fun--
And, we got TWO coats of primer on the walls. It really was a successful day. Now, the view out our front windows looks a little bit brighter, in spite of the snow. 
Keeping up the frenetic pace, on Sunday, the "outlaws" arrived from Kamloops and Dean helped install the sliding glass doors by the dining room and in our bedroom. Dave and Dean formed kind of an alliance and really, I was just window dressing.
But in then end, they had both doors installed in about three hours and with no surprises or glitches to interrupt the process. We're grateful for the sacrifice and selflessness of friends and family for helping us inch one step closer to completing Renovations 101.
