SIXTH SATURDAY - Mostly painted


This is the dining room. After a full day of prep-work on the walls and moldings, and a day of painting, we have a coat of primer on everything (ceiling included), a coat of white on the ceiling and yellow on the walls. It still needs another coat of yellow before we attack the doors and windows with final coats of white paint.

Thankfully, the kitchen area (not shown) needed only ceiling paint, since the walls will be completely covered with cabinets and tiled backsplash.

Lesson learned: My HPLV sprayer does not like primer. Neither do I. It doesn't wash off with water, despite the advice on the label. (A green kitchen scrubbing pad works.) We quickly switched from sprayer to roller for the duration.
