Paint!

This morning as I came into the office, I was surprised to see that the peeling paint on Black Oak School had been power-washed away. I knew that the building was slated to get a paint job, but just on Friday I received an email from Dr. Keiter saying the painters would begin prep work on the 26th. Obviously, the painters had come over the weekend and were ahead of schedule. Today a couple of the crew were sanding and continuing the prep work. The painters want to get a jump on things before the weather turns. I had to shoo the crew away from Mrs. Stapp's class as the sanders were quite distracting to the lessons being taught. We had a couple of good showers today that shortened the work day for the painting crew, but I'm sure they will be back soon. It will be a bit of an inconvenience, but it will be nice to get the old school a new coat before winter settles upon us!
