Painting the House, May-July, 2009: Lath and Plaster

            I'm posting these images simply to record the exterior and interior painting of our heritage home in 2009. It's more or less a blow-by-blow for our relatives and personal friends, who hide behind those anonymous icons on my contact list. I am not expecting comments, since I am still not able to repay visits of my flickr buddies in a proper manner. Still looking after my daughter, Meg, and am waiting for my daughter, Jess, to deliver my new grandson this month. 

The painting project was pretty much a last minute decision, and the work is being carried out by Ed Runions of EDR Construction. He's doing a great job. The original plan was to paint over the several layers of wallpaper after filling and levelling the seams. Here, Jason Runions has done the levelling work, and is applying a primer coat. As it turns out, after a lot of levelling and priming work, Ed felt that the old wallpaper seams remained too visible, so we opted for soaking off all the old wallpaper layers and re-priming.
