Remolding - Day Seventeen

Today we got up early, packed up the truck and headed to the house. Once we were done unpacking the truck we went inside house and started to clean the new floor, we did the TV room first and started to lay down brown paper over the work so nothing get's on them. We then cleaned the dining and living room floors and noticed that they still looked white and sure enough it was dust, so we cleaned them for a second time and ran our finger across them and still got dust on it. We think we need a better mop as it's going to take a few more cleaning before we finally get them looking great. We then moved onto painting. While I taped up the rest of the kitchen Harry went into the office and sanded down some spots that he had spackled yesterday. Once he was done with that he went back into the kitchen and started putting a second coat of paint on the window area in the kitchen, while I painted the walls above the ledge. After we had finished that we pulled out the fridge and painted behind the fridge as well. Now the kitchen is completely done !!!

Next on the agenda was the Entrance. After I taped off the walls Harry started painting the remaining wall the same blue accent color that we had used in the dining and living room. While he did this I was busy with some touch up work in the kitchen and started taping off the beams in the living and dining room. After Lunch Harry put a second coat of paint on the accent wall in the Entrance.

Once we were done with that we turned our attention to the 2 beams. While I painted the major surface of the 2 beams with the roller, Harry used the ladder to do the trim. But all our hard work paid off.. we finished painting the living and dining rooms, both hallways, kitchen, pantry, entrance, TV room and Guest Room.

Tomorrow we will be taking a day off, but on Wednesday we’re back painting !!
