Priming the house


We worked all day today to prime the house. We finished the bonus room, the staircase, the master bedroom and bathroom, the half bath, and laundry room. We worked for about 10 hours again. It took awhile to get set up. We borrowed a sprayer from a friend of ours. We weren't used to it so the set-up was a little difficult. Then we have to cover windows, doors, etc so that the paint doesn't get on them. We also had to make several runs to different places to get stuff we needed. I didn't take any pictures of the paint today because the sprayer puts so much into the air that I was afraid it would get on my lens. I will try and take a picture or two tomorrow once the paint settles some. We used a tinted primer so that it makes it easier to actually paint later. Also, it helps to see where you've already sprayed. Haley was so excited to help paint. We gave her a cup of paint and a brush and just let her go at it. She ended up with more paint on her than on the walls!!! Here is a pic of her sporting her safety glasses that we had to go buy in order to keep the paint out of our eyes. Tomorrow we will try and finish priming the rest of the house.
