Mud and Paint
Wowee! Today we finally got to put some paint on the walls! We still have lots to do, but that felt like good progress. Gregg has been very busy applying mud and more mud to the skylights and walls in the kitchen and bathroom. First thing in the morning, Maddie and Vic hit the Depot again for supplies. We prepped the second bedroom for painting… washing walls, taping, dropcloths, etc. Also washed the kitchen walls to prep them for painting. Vic busied himself with finishing work on the electrical outlets in the kitchen. Gregg flies from room to room mudding and sanding.

We tested the water lines today. After a minor cleanup, everything seems to be working. Except maybe the new shower fixture. It doesn’t seem to want to dispense cold water. We’ll get that straightened out.

In the afternoon, after a primer from Gregg on the rudimentary theory of painting, Maddie and I began cutting and rolling with the bright white paint. At this point it looks like we will begin installing kitchen cabinets tomorrow! There is a bit of a question right now on the current placement of the gas line for the stove and the electrical for the range hood. But things are looking good.

Will Maddie and Vic pick any color for any of their walls? Or will it all be bright white for now? Stay tuned to find out. And for some new photos. Maddie is experiencing a few technical difficulties uploading photos to Blogger. We have them for you and will get them up as soon as we can. Thanks for reading. You are reading, aren’t you?
