Spent almost 2 hours priming various parts of the House with Damaged Porch Roof from the last blog entry...
Foundation is primed and replacement siding strips are primed (gotta paint both sides to prevent a lot of warping). I also slapped some primer on the exposed house body above the door to help seal the mildew/moldy areas.

Living Room got a fresh coat of paint on the ceiling and walls and foundation is now primed.

Did not get a very good 'before' photo of the dining room, but it also now has a fresh coat of paint and looks much improved!
And, in my typical fashion, I managed to get primer all over my hands and up my arms to my elbows. I scrubbed so vigorously to remove the paint I gave myself nasty rug burns on my arms. they are burning right now -- Some days I am not the brightest! LOL
I hope to glue the siding on the front of the house before I leave work today and then it won't get any more attention until next week...my arms need the rest! :)
Red Townhouse customer returned to the store and finished picking out her wallpapers and floorings so I will work on that tomorrow instead.
Hi, Lori - All that scrubbing and primer, are making a huge difference already. I'm sorry about the nasty rug burns on your arms; hope they heal fast so you can get back to more scrubbing and primer. (Hopefully without the burns!)

Hello Lori,
ReplyDeleteI do loath primer. As useful as is it gets all over my arms...and believe me, I'm hairy so washing it off is a production each time! However, the rooms are looking fantastic. I can't wait to see more.
Big hug
