When Craig and Craig were around,
we had them put a first coat
of paint on all the walls upstairs. Before we moved in,
Jen and I managed to put a few more coats in some rooms,
but not all of them. While my mother was here last week (5/2 -
5/6), she put a second coat in the guest room and the kitchen. It looks great!
It's like we have real walls in those rooms. Next to be tackled
is the main bathroom, our bedroom and probably the hallway. The foyer, master bath
and office might be a
while.

We finally got
the second coat of paint in the main bathroom (6/3/06). Overall all
it was a lot of work. We
had to paint everything including the
trim. It was done first, so as you see here it was taped then the
walls
were done. The walls also needed a lot of work to patch
holes I left from moving the switch and putting in
the medicine
cabinet. Now we start hanging towell racks, toilet paper
holders, etc. This marks the
completion of the bathroom switch
project, but there's still lots of painting to do in the
house.

So it's been a while since
we painted anything. It's been even longer since we've had molding.
In order to
have molding, we need to finish painting. Today
(12/31/06), we got a couple steps closer. We cleaned out
the office and went to work. I've lost count the number of
coats of red we've painted in here. We should
have started
with a primer, but didn't. Hopefully this is the last
coat of paint. This room will be first to get
molding.

With the office drying, it was off to the
bedroom. Though a bigger room, it required less walls to paint.
For some reason when we were finishing the closets in the master
bedroom, we painted the wall they were
on, so it didn't need it
today.
Everything is still
drying, but so far looks real nice.

4/28/07 the end of April we got
around to painting the living room and hallway. With these two areas
repainted we could really get serious about trim. Unfortunately
that's the time mt. bike racing gets really
serious.

5/28/07 the end
of May, Jen got around to painting our new kitchen windows - not an
easy task. I think it
took nearly two weeks.

Here's
the bigger window all taped. Made for some interesting
photos
|
 |
Taped
and painted at night.

A cool night shot of the windows over the
sink.

One of the days it rained and while the
windows were out we had to cover the opening with plastic. I think
we went a few days with it like this over night and off to work
too.
