Painting the basement day 1

Well so much for my schedule. I spent 7 hours priming yesterday and all I got done was the floor trim, window trim, 5 door ways and 6 doors. Okay, so that is everything in the basement I wanted to prime but I didn't even begin to prime the furniture that has taken over most of my garage. Time for a new plan. Today I will paint the first coat of paint in the basement and in my experience priming takes longer so it shouldn't take 7 hours. Tomorrow I will paint the second coat in the basement and hopefully be done with it. Thursday I am taking the day off from painting (my back is already in knots from 1 day!) so I can catch up on cleaning and do some shopping then Friday I will prime the furniture that is in the garage. I doubt I will do any painting over the weekend but start again on the furniture on Monday. I am hoping to have the furniture done Tuesday or Wednesday. And sometime next week I also need to find time to paint the walls in the basement.

Lessons learned: Only paint one room at a time and doors will always take 3 times longer than you think they will.

I still have an entire house to paint. It is going to take FOREVER! lol

I hope everyone is having a good week so far!

  1. Chris,
    That's quite a job doing so much painting! You're one busy lady. But you'll be so happy with the results, I'm sure. Hang in there and it'll get done and look great!
