Paint Faint


When your house is being built and the only thing your are adding to it is basically …Money, it is nice that you get the opportunity to do some else and painting is just that.With 30 liters of paint for the 1st and 2nd layer, plenty of brushes and other useful tools, the painting process started. The worst possible start is always the ceiling, that is tough to do and the 1st layer always seems to take forever. But with a fresh summer breeze and plenty of non smelly paint the ceiling got his first layer as well as the walls. Rewarding to see it being virgin white and with the left over paint I walked upstairs to do the staircase and the bathroom.

Sometimes it is good that the parquet floor and toilets are still missing, so that I can mess around with the paint without causing any problems. Although the bath room was challenging with the new tiles and bath, you need to be an acrobat to paint.
About 40m2 is done now which means that there is still plenty to do and it became clear that the living room and its ceiling will be the worst thing to do. The sheer size makes it a tough job that will take an amateur painter as moi very long so I guess this needs to be outsourced to somebody that actually knows what he is doing.
It is nice to contribute to the finalisation of the house but in the end…paying somebody to get it all sorted isn’t a bit thing either.
