painting day part 1

It has been a long and arduous day, but also one that has seen much fruit, and has been truly rewarding. We spent a few hours scraping the walls and sand papering the walls, preparing them for painting. This was after spending almost an hour trying to get hold of the correct paint(they wanted to give us gloss for walls!)

We were blessed to have help all along the way and finished the first coat of paint before the day was out.

We then went to a persons house which was so unlike any we have seen, in a private street with their own private security. It was like something out of a movie set, akin to Edward Scissor Hands! The house was bright with its own garden, kids who spoke fluent english and a mother who was a wonderful cook. Truly surreal, nothing surprises me now!
