Ending Radio Silence - Part 2

Home projects are a family affair around here. And we're... unconventional... OK, so I guess I'M the one who's unconventional with many of my management practices.

In this episode, wanted to get a good idea of what we needed to do to prep the house, so I grabbed a piece of chalk and the nearest piece of wall and started writing. The kids helped.

Chalk comes off most paints with just a sponge and a bit of water. Use the idea at your own risk.


I'm pretty tall, so all I typically need for painting is a small stool.



Beth's youngest brother David saw room for improvement on my idea, so he set up the scaffold. Lots of room for movement- much more efficient than my idea.



Beth's next-oldest brother Will could NOT be outdone by his little brother, so he showed us all how it was to be done!


And here's the finished product. This is the same corner in which I was standing on the stool.


P.S. Want a white board but don't want to spend the money to get a big enough one to use? Use dry erase markers on a window or a mirror. Done one the cheap. Yeah!
