Work at the Lake House

I thought I would spend my days using primer and paint to make my lake house trying to make it look like this. Instead, I’m not spending enough time inside (except for when I’m washing dishes – by hand) to even care what it looks like on the inside. After years of neglect, the lake house is in desperate need of some TLC. One of the first projects is the peeling paint on the garage. What does Daddy always say the secret to a good paint job is? Good prep.

If you do a good job at the scraping, you shouldn’t need to paint it again for 10 years — we promise them. Once that’s done, it’s time to crack open the paint cans. Well, you give them rollers, and you pass out instructions about making it smooth, and working it in

And then, they paint rocks.

And then, you celebrate with a nice cold glass of root beer. Because, after all, this will all be yours someday.
