I spent yesterday and today painting the interior of my parents' two-car garage. They built the house 15 years ago but never got the garage painted.
It all started a few weeks ago when Dad mentioned he wanted to paint the garage. He is 73 years old, recovering from a sprained ankle, and has macular degeneration. There's no way he should be climbing ladders to do the cutting in. So I told him I would come help for a few days while DH was away on business. Good thing I did. Dad took a tumble Tuesday night when he stepped out of the house and into the garage and forgot that he moved the ramp that has been at that entrance since grandma needed it ten years ago. He broke a small bone in his hand. That put him out of commission as far as being any help to me, so I did the job myself.
After seven hours of work yesterday and six hours today, I'm finally done two coats. I'm a little sore but the folks are very happy.
