I've kind of gotten to the point where there's nothing that can be done with the shower and floor areas until the old stuff is removed. Same for the countertops and cabinets. So I've been working in other areas. Mostly up high.
This weekend I painted the ceiling which is a surprisingly hard thing to do well. Along with that, I had to touch up a few details. What you can see of the light fixtures in the ceiling along with the heater weren't looking too well. A couple of fresh coats of paint took care of that and now they look as good as new. Right now I'm halfway through the second coat of paint on the crown molding.
Then I was able to move on to the doors, door frames and casing. I'd like to say that the power sprayer helped speed things up but it doesn't spit out paint in a smooth enough pattern for the doors and I had to go over it all with a brush. The only real tip here is that latex paint and a sprayer don't really mix that well but at least it will throw a lot of paint on the door quickly.
We also got the mirror off the wall. It was attached with a black adhesive that was a bit of trouble to get off. Once upon a time it was attached in five places, but today I think only one of them was holding on anymore. The mirror is 6 1/2 feet x 4 feet so it was HEAVY!
Anyway here's the latest. Our plans for tomorrow are to finish the second coat of paint on the molding, then start to work on the walls to get them primed and smooth because the next big task is to apply the plaster finish.
