Major Paint Project

 

patched the cracks

 We moved into this house 7 years ago - and now it's time to start painting.

When we moved into my parent's home - my dad being a Painting contractor had painted it a few years earlier so it was quality - I just wanted more color and a different look from what my parents had. 

We never got around to it. Just lazy I guess. 

more patching

Today my husband started to paint the ceiling. 

He is not a very good painter. I just wanted him to do the high ceilings and I will do everything else. 

I watched my dad many times and have painted a lot in my years. We have vaulted ceilings and at some points, it is 14 feet. 

I am not confident standing on ladders anymore. So he cut in halfway - and he'll do the other half tomorrow. 

We're not in any BIG hurry to bust this out. It will get done. Then he'll use a roller. We have a lot of my dad's equipment - a compressor-type commercial paint sprayer but we don't know how to use it. We also have a smaller type paint sprayer we have never used.  Now is not the time if it will derail us from getting this done.

 We knew the living room, dining, and kitchen ceiling would be a BIG JOB for us. Once we get that done, I'll paint the walls. I still haven't picked out colors yet.
