ok I just went and got supplies for painting, We HAVE paint trays, roller
heads, painters tarp, corner brushes.
We are borrowing and will have 3 rollers with handles, a flat head shovel,
scaffolding.
Karl is donating a bar code scanner for inventorying.
We need 5 gal. bucket of white (or some other light color) paint which Tom
said he is going to pick up.
So we are almost set for painting to begin on Tuesday!
