Rounding a Corner
Today was another busy one here at Casa Alvarez, what with all of the awesomeness flying around full-tilt. After a lovely, leisurely breakfast over on Cherokee with my folks, we got down to the business of sanding the mud job in the kitchen. I’m happy to report that since I’m pretty much the queen of all mudding, sanding took only about an hour.
After we got everything cleaned up from sanding, we did a coat of high-build primer, figuring that would show all the glaring imperfections and then we’d be back to mudding and sanding again. Luckily, it still looked quite good and we’ve officially closed the door on drywalling/taping/mudding this project. Woohoo! It’s so wonderful to go in the kitchen and no longer see bare drywall. It really feels like we’ve entered a new phase. On a technical note…we’re huge fans of the Killz high build primer, but our little sprayer just wasn’t beefy enough to finish the job. When we do the second prime coat after the ceiling tiles are installed, we’re going to bite the bullet and rent a high-pressure airless sprayer from Home Desperate.
Here’s a picture of me testing out the sprayer and of the fully primed walls. Tomorrow we’re going to start hanging the ceiling tiles. I’m so very very very excited for this. Things are happening…
