So as I mentioned in my last post, I was able to get away a few weeks ago for a Neill family reunion on a quiet beach in North Carolina. Two beachfront houses, three generations (thirty of us in all), a delicious potluck dinner every night, one birthday celebration, and some much needed R & R.
Now I’m back at home and trying to readjust to post vacation life, which includes waking up to an alarm clock 
, shuffling my daughter off to camp, catching up on a week’s worth of work, and my ever-growing household to do list. As I was sorting through this week’s mail, I came across a thank you note from a customer whom we recently completed interior and exterior painting for:
“Thanks so much for the superb interior painting work just completed at our home in Rosemont. We were especially pleased that you coordinated the painting and repairs with our already planned family vacation. We returned after a week away to find seven room interiors beautifully painted and meticulously clean, with everything in its proper place. Outside, your crew had nicely completed work involving power washing, masonry, carpentry, and painting. We’d enthusiastically recommend your team to others. Also, having work done during vacation was a very valuable bonus that reduced family disruption to nil – we were so glad we chose that option.” – The Cooper Family
What a brilliant idea! Have your projects completed while you’re away and avoid the disruption altogether. Plus, what could be nicer than coming home to a newly updated house? And with the latest eco-friendly low VOC paints, there will be no traces that we were there, just freshly updated walls and crisp clean trim. Now all I have to do is plan another vacation and see if I can sneak my name on the scheduling list. 
Wishing everyone a fabulous Fourth of July Holiday.
