PAINTING

Painting is probably the most essential aspect of renovations. 

Paint is a deciding factor on how a room affects a person, by giving the room a feeling like warm or cold. 

 Usually painting is done last in a renovation, however in ours we decided to do it first so that we would not get paint anywhere it was not supposed to be. 

 To begin, we removed all of the electrical plates and the plates on light switches. 

After this was done we washed any dirt or debris from the wall that might mix with the paint and leave a mark.   

Several chemicals can be used for this process but we used T.S.P.

Since we wanted to replace it anyway, we tore out the base board with a cats-paw.

On every paint job you must put on painters tape to give yourself insurance when you cut in on corners.

After 2 coats of paint our painting was done. If you are using darker paint you will need more coats.

Next up will be removing the carpet...
