Just had a week off from my painting gig and today I'll be climbing back on that ladder and painting.
I'm trying to enjoy this cup of coffee before I slip into my work bibs and head out to my client's lake house.
This has been a very interesting project. I was hired intially to prep the house so the homeowner could take a week and do the actual painting. She enjoys painting and I totally understand the desire to see the color go on the wall, to have accomplished that by yourself. In fact the small part I painted for her was rewarding. But priming and painting trim isn't as rewarding and I think hiring someone else (me) to do that part of the job is an excellent idea. Especially when her available time is limited.
Her week off ended on Sunday and I received a list of things done and things yet to be done. It seems like she's been very productive. I'm anxious to see the colors on the wall. I have seen little test patches but of course its difficult to imagine an entire room when you only get a test patch, even for me.
It looks like I'll be painting the closet doors and the windows today. Of course I won't get that all done today. I believe thats going to be another 3 coat process (going by the room doors). So Maybe one coat on the doors and each window and then hopefully I can get a coat of primer on the front and back door and then at least one final coat on those doors. Hmm, might not be the best game plan but those seem to be priority items to me.
I'm also going to finish some of the trim and give one of the bedrooms a final coat of paint. I have two weeks to do all of this which would be more than ample time, but I've got a full time writing business to handle as well. It's another case of me taking on a little more work than I can handle.
So, once I've finished my cup of coffee it's back to the ladder.
