We were fortunate enough to have my parents visit us again the last weekend of June to help us with more renovation projects. I can't even imagine what our place might look like without their visits - they have been such a big help!
We also decided to have the main area professionally painted to help speed up the process and because the 20' drop over the stairs made that area very difficult to paint. Although when we saw the professionals doing it, they sure made it seem much easier than it would have been for us! They were able to complete the painting on Friday, Saturday and part of the day on Monday. If anyone needs painters in Chicago, let us know - they did great work. The same goes for hardwood floor refinishing. We were more than pleased with the work done by both contractors! Just don't ask us for carpet referrals... Long story!
We also finally got some furniture delivered during this weekend! Some of the furniture did not want to fit down the stairs of course, but with a little work and a little extra repair work for the painters, Jim and my Dad were able to force the furniture down.
Here are some photos from the weekend:
