Today was the day for finishing up the texture on the ceiling. Looking back on the computer, I found that we patched the chimney hole three years ago in January. We used all the texture in town at that time but it wasn't quite enough. Who would believe that it would sit another three years! If it weren't for the painter coming on Tuesday to spray the ceiling, it probably would be three more years before the job was finished...and it seemed like just yesterday! John taped plastic on the window wall, then attached scrap plastic to the ceiling with push pins. Everything on the ground was draped with plastic tarps.
Here he is shaking the first can of texture. Thank goodness we were able to borrow Rob's ladder for this job.
He was worried that he had some heavy sections so out came the pocket knife to scrape off excess globs. Then we decided to wait until it dried before removing more.
After all the spraying John looked thrilled to be finished...look at that enthusiastic expression! Then down came the plastic, all the tarps were taken out on the deck to be folded, and the floor was given a good vacuuming. Tomorrow we will see how it looks...cross your fingers!
