Jonathan commented on the debris that was everywhere (he pronounced it the way it is spelled, so it took us a moment to realize what he was talking about). Like a good helper, he swept up the mess.
My parents came over and Dad (known as Grady to his grandkids) brought over his grinder. I'm not sure what made it better than Fred's, but it did the job in no time flat. If only we had it yesterday! The grinder made a huge mess! The clean-up took forever! And, once again, we are behind schedule. (See below: Jonathan was in charge of holding the door open for Fred. He thought he was pretty cool in his goggles and mask.)
Once we finally got the mess cleaned up, we could start painting. Whoo-hoo. I chose a very light sage green for my paint color. At first, it seemed too light. However, it is growing on me!
Our helpers didn't last long. Jonathan painted for a little while. Hammering is Jonathan's speciality. Jess painted long enough to figure out that it isn't that much fun!
Here is what it looks like tonight. It looks very streaky. We're letting it dry and then Fred and I will go back over it tomorrow morning. 
We appreciate the help of our awesome painting crew: MaMaw and Grady. Day 3... here we come!
