More paint!!

Well, as redundant as the photos seem, I can say, I am really happy with progress... all the ceilings on the second floor are finish painted!!!

First here is a quick shot of the master bathroom ceiling...

Now a shot of the master bedroom......after....paint...the bathroom is visible in the rear of the photo...



Here, is a picture of the front stairs landing.. minus all the spindles and handrail..


NOW.. here is a picture of the tin ceiling in the master bedroom, paint in progress.. you can really see the difference...

And, here is the finished ceiling..... it might have a second coat yet, this was the only room that had no primer put on.. it was washed before painting, 3 times.. and it does look nicer, will have to wait to see how it dried before determining a second coat is needed or not.


Just another view .. giggling

Now this is the upstairs long hallway... looks soo good with the ceiling paint! Nice and bright!



I have all the wall colors chosen.. maybe next time, if not, maybe some of the ceiling fans will be installed.

More work!

Well, I have to say, it was a very long weekend! The start out, wasn't so bad.. it was just cold and dark.. we left early.. no traffic to speak of on the road.. We were afraid of driving into blizzard conditions, but we were lucky the snow stopped before we got there.. just a mess to clean up, a little more work.

We raked some snow off the roof.. and cleaned the walks....




Although this wasn't us, it was a good clue as to the work ahead.. I snapped this photo on the way ....



As well as this scene.. my first look of snow for the season...



But all said and done, we got the bathroom ceiling and two bedrooms ceiling painted, then some paint on the bathroom walls.. all ready to replace the sink and toilet, finish off the tub and it's done.. (check one off the list he he )




So, to wrap it all up, we stacked the wood, shoveled snow, painted, vacuumed all the white dust of all the floors, sorted out some tools, measured stuff,
