The drywallers finished taping and sanding this week, so the house was all ready to be primed. Joe and Carrie came Friday night with the craft center and taped off the doors and windows and prep for priming. And they were there at 8:30 Saturday morning to begin priming. Thank God for siblings and talented ones at that.

The paint sprayer worked amazing well and I guess it helped that Joe knew what he was doing. We sprayed the primer on everything and then rolled behind for a nice even coverage. We did the bathroom and some smaller areas by hand, but most of it was sprayed. Everyone seemed to underestimate the number of gallons of primer we would need. So after 14 gallons and the upstairs not even finished, we went back to Home Depot for another round. All in all, we used 27 gallons of primer. That’s crazy. It’s not even that thick, but it came out really nice. And we will never paint the ceilings, so that’s one thing we’re done with. They look really good.

We’re just left with a little issue of how to reach the ceiling in the stairway, so we’ll need to work that out quickly and then we’ll be ready to paint! New albums in the Photo Gallery. Check em out.
