11-18 January 2026 Paint Preparation

 The paint team got to work prepping for painting by filling all the thousands of nail holes in the trim and caulking miles of seams throughout the house. They prepared all the cabinet frames, doors and drawer fronts. They also laid paper down on all the floors and taped off the windows. Late in the week they began priming the trim and cabinet doors and drawers. They have a lot to do. Fortunately, the weather has been good,  not too cold and not to warm. We had some light rain on Wednesday afternoon, enough to get a wonderful rainbow over the RV park. We spent Wednesday in the shop working on the new tables and putting a more permanent solution in place to block mice from coming in. On Friday we shopped for furniture. We went down to the Granbury square and had a wonderful German lunch at Ketzlers on the square. Then we went to the Wagon Wheel and scoped out the couch we want to buy. We will order one in a couple of weeks so it can be delivered straight to the house. While there, David spotted a “Welcome to The Ranch” metal sign we had to have for over the front door. Sunday, David spent the afternoon working in the shop on some rolling storage shelves and got ¾ of the way completed.
