January 26th update

Our crew continued to work another job this week as the painters cleaned
up, masked the many windows and other areas which were not
to be painted, then painted everything else inside.

The Wallboard work left a lot
of mess. The paint crew began
the process of cleaning that up.

Masking - though tedious and time
consuming - allows the painting itself
to go quickly and protects things
like the writing in the attic that could
not be cleaned after the fact.

The spray equipment has to be assembled
and tested. While cleaned immediately
after each use it still requires
maintenance and adjustments.

Finally the actual painting could begin.
While the attic was being sprayed the
rest of the paint crew moved down to
the second floor to prepare it for painting.

The crew continued to work downward
as the day, and week, went on.

There's a lot of area to be covered inside a house and a real skill to keeping the coats smooth. They're kept thin to
prevent running.
