Painting G&G's house

Granny & Grandad's house needed painting so we all turned up to give them a hand, so that they could get it done in a day. We were really lucky as the day we picked (12 September) ended up being the sunniest in a few weeks.

Michael & Richard took up the task of climbing onto the conservatory to paint the back of the house.

Meanwhile at the front of the house all the ladies had their marigolds at the ready as we were told the house couldn't be painted until it had had a thorough clean first. Dad had other ideas, and decided to keep out the way and make a start at the painting on top of the scaffolding.

We soon discovered that painting a house on such a sunny day was hard work, so Granny & Mum got to work preparing lunch. We all enjoyed our well earned break, devouring all the yummy bacon butties and home-made bread sandwiches to keep us going for the rest of the day!

In the afternoon it was all hands on deck to finish the side of the house. Not quite sure that Uncle Jeff understood that we had the entire house to paint in just one day..

And here is the final result. A sparkling shiny white house!

Ooops, looks like we may have saved a little bit for you to finish off!
