...9.5...Friday Update...

...work continues on the painting of the master bedroom...just working our way around the room...shuffling furniture around...the Man is doing the cutting in up high...and I'm doing it down low...the vertical walls and the first level of the ceiling will be Palest Pistachio...and the high ceiling in the tray will be white...

...we removed a couple of wall plates that aren't needed...where data and phone cables came in...so those large holes need to be patched...

...you can buy a special kit to cover them...but I just pack them with cardboard...

... and tape the edges and cover it with spackling...

...this first coat is pretty rough...and I scrape most of it away with the spackling knife...

...meanwhile the cutting in continues...

...so it repeats a couple of times...sand and spackle....

..sand and spackle...

...this is the final skim coat of spackling...one more light sanding and this wall will be ready for paint...

...and this is all the spackling that I have left from a 25 lb. bag...so I transferred it to a jar for long term storage...we won't need much in the future...maybe just patching some nail holes or dings in the wall...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your weekend!
