Against all Expectations, Progress IS Actually Happening

The less said about the last week, the better. The details of the contractor drama are both too convoluted and simultaneously pedestrian to bear repeating here. Suffice to say, we are still living in between houses, PODS has been called to move our delivery back yet again, and we are finally, finally beginning to see progress.

To prove it to myself, here's where things stand:

1. The ceilings were scraped of their popcorn, skimmed, primed, sanding (twice), and painted. The ceilings are DONE.

2. The house has been completely prepped for painting, including sanding, taping, patching, windows, etc.  Everything is off--all fixtures, doors, plates, hardware.

3. Primer is going on!

Pics or it didn't happen, right interwebs?


The kitchen: Whiteout edition



Doors all primed and ready for paint

The living room all primed and sanded


Looking Up!
Wood paneling is primed, with some cabinet doors for extra priming

  1. Am I imagining things or did they paint that window in the last picture (far left)?

  2. It's this masking film they apply to the windows. Then they can spray with impunity--primer or trim color--and when they are all done painting, all they have to do is peel it off. I don't know exactly what it's called, and since I wasn't there when they prepped, I don't know if they used the self-adhesive film or the liquid version.
