Wie geht's?
Epic few days at Maple Grove!
We initially wanted to fix up all the interior windows at Maple Grove and remove the carpet - remember. Well the carpet job went onto the back burner and we decided to concentrate on interior windows.
As we proceeded though, it became obvious we also needed to paint the walls. And that in turn meant doing the ceilings before we did the walls.
Sheesh.
Day 1 - remove all the furniture, wall paintings, and containers from the rooms - sanding meant we needed to empty out the rooms as much as possible; prep windows in kitchen/diner for staining - remove window catches; sand.
Day 2 - stain all windows (1 and a half coats)
Day 3 - finish second coat of some windows; prep walls and ceiling in the kitchen/diner/entrance way for painting - sanding/ washing walls and ceilings; first coat on the ceilings (Jacky worked a duty)
Day 4 - second coat on ceilings; first coat of walls part 1 - all those fiddly bits the roller won't get to (Jacky worked a duty)
Day 5 (today) - first coat of the walls part 2 - roller action; second coat part 1 and 2 (Jacky was home and able to do the lower level fiddly bits); wash up; return the rooms to normal.
Day 6 (tomorrow) - collapse in a heap!
Love and peace - Wozza
