Lucy and I recently had a project at her husbands work. Our task was to give the break room a new look. Lucy had new felt put on the pool table, new upholstery put on the chairs and we even recovered the ottomans ourselves. Then we painted the logo and mission statement on the wall. We did good, if I say so myself. Looks like professionals were there.
It's hard to tell in the photo, but the wall was concrete blocks. Boy was it tough to paint. We had a transparency and a projector to give us something as a guide and we outlined the words with crayons..... then we started painting between the lines. Lisa's husband John was impressed, so were the other employees.
We donated our time to this job and the company paid for the materials. We didn't have any big Lucy/Ethel moments so, maybe..... just maybe, we can get more jobs like this done in the future. We had alot of fun! I hope the grand opening of the new building goes great. Good Luck, VEOLIA TRANSPORTATION!!!!!!!!

No Lucy/Ethel moments, but it was an adventure getting paint mixed at 9:00am in a desserted Wal-Mart on a Sunday morning!
Ethel,
I can't think you enough for your careful and diligent work on our break room. It really captures the new culture I'm trying to instill with our employees. I do find it hard to believe that at least one of you guys didn't step into the paint bucket, or sling paint on each other.

Wow, I'm impressed I got a comment out of Ricky! You are quite welcome. Fred was surprised that we made it through the day without it costing us money for additional repairs, clean-up crews and emergency room charges for Lucy...
