Yeah I think Saturday afternoon works best for everyone. We were planning to start around 2 so there is plenty of time to get everything set up before people arrive. I already picked up the charcoal and some extra chairs from the garage. Let me know if you want me to grab anything else from the store. The weather looks good so we should be fine eating outside. I will send out a quick note to the group later today to confirm the time.

For the sides I was thinking about making that pasta salad recipe you liked from last time. It is easy to put together and travels well if we end up moving the table. Also I have a cooler ready for drinks so no need to bring your own unless you want something specific. I think that covers everything on my end for now. Let me know if you think of anything else we might need.

I finally decided to go with the gray paint for the living room after testing a few samples on the wall. The light gray looked way too blue in the afternoon sun so I went with a warmer tone instead. I already picked up the paint and tape from the store this morning. The rollers and trays I still have from the last project should work fine. I am planning to start prepping the room tonight by moving furniture and patching any nail holes.

For the trim I think I will stick with white since it matches the rest of the house. The whole project should take a couple of days if I take my time with the cutting in. Let me know if you have any tips for getting clean lines around the windows because that is always the trickiest part for me. I will send you some photos once I get the first coat on so you can see how the color looks in the space.
