Painting in Michigan

It’s been a blur of a week and the holiday weekend has started out in a similar fashion. After about 2 hours of sleep, I woke at 3:15 AM to head off for Michigan via a 6 AM flight at LaGuardia. I feel like I’ve taken every form of transport besides a boat today, but I've arrive safely after flying on Northwest (of Northworst as I like to call it). Scrambling for a few hours, I submitted what I need to for work and completed the always fun trip to Home Depot to begin the painting of the trim tomorrow.

That's right, I've come all the way home to Michigan to paint trim with my Dad on a holiday weekend. We saved a few thousand dollars by having it replicated in Michigan. Although it’s a bit of an expense to fly out, there is a luxury here that I’ve forgotten: room to work!

I saw the trim for the first time tonight and it looks fabulous. The milling is spot on and my Dad has kept it inside all winter making sure it’s nice and dry, minimizing any chance for warping and splitting since it has been in a controlled environment.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day, so it's off to bed for now.
