Meeting the painter

Today we met with the painter and discussed what needed painting and decided to go ahead and have the popcorn ceiling removed in the laundry room. Michael Parker, (http://www.maparker.com/) is the painter and he's actually done work here before.

I enjoyed listening to both Chris and Mike as they bantered back and forth on what needed to be done. It was a good comedy routine. Mike wanted to remove some of the crown molding to do some patch work on the ceiling where the can lights are but Chris was not going for it. However, when they left I discovered what looks like a crack in the same molding so who knows maybe Mike will get his wish.

Mike was explaining how he'll seal off the cabinets in the kitchen while they do the prep work for the painting and the painting itself. We went through what needs to be done to the breezeway and the stairs so the paint blends in since we're going with the exisitng color (I'm so not up to even consider having the bonus room painted at this time and that's where these stairs lead)

This weekend we're going to try to finish up the banquette. Need to fill in the nail holes, sand and seal.
