Tackle Riley's room

I am looking for volunteers for Wednesday and Thursday to tackle Riley's room while he is at the hospital. We will paint his walls and ceiling with semi gloss low emissions paint. His walls still have the original house flat white primer. They can't be wiped without taking the texture off. We are taking out the carpet Wednesday morning. Then we will lay the laminate I already have.

I bought the flooring last year when grandpa tom Sr moved out and I replace all the floors in the hall and his bedroom. I got this great deal at Lumber liquidators $0.49 a square foot. I bought the whole pallet of 1500 square feet. I have enough to do Riley's room and probably Trevor's floor also.

Mom said she had a guy that would come over to move the furniture out and rip out the carpet on Wednesday morning. I figure, with help, I can get the project done in two days, three days max. My neighbor said she could help paint. But I would like two more people. Trevor's room doesn't need painting but we could do his floors at the same time as the painting of Riley's room.
Then do Riley's floor.

I did the hall in 3 days and every board had to be cut. The guest room to 3 days. But it was almost finished in two. That was by myself. The boys rooms are small. I could just do Riley's room and skip Trevor's until later, just to be safe that I complete the project. But it will give us a couple of days to air it out before Riley comes home.

My sister bought us an air purifier for Riley. It filters molds and fungus., which are truly dangerous for Riley.

If you are interested send me an e-mail or let me know. I will see if we can pull this off.
