Every Job Needs a Foreman

Dad, you will be happy to know that on Saturday we finally finished the garage!

In the morning, I did some painting here and there around the Villa while Walter finished up the framing, and after lunch I helped out with some dishes. Then, in the afternoon, some people from the same group that helped out on Friday stayed back again and we tackled about five different painting jobs, including the garage. Raymond put me in charge of everyone, and I started them on staining a few more brick columns, painting the garage, cleaning and painting/staining a fountain, painting a dumpster, and cleaning and painting a grill. It was a lot more difficult managing only 10 people doing all of these jobs than I thought it would be. Some of the jobs were spread out, so I did a lot of running back and forth making sure people had paint, brushes, ladders, and whatnot. Eventually, as some of the smaller jobs got finished, I was able to pitch in and help clean and paint the grill. Right as we were finishing up the last of the projects, I needed to get ready to go to the House and get some much needed dinner. I am very glad we finally got the garage done, and Jose has said I will get to go out with some of the groups this week, which will be a nice change of pace.
