This is the first coat. Tomorrow we will go back and apply the second coat of drywall mud to the ceilings. Once they are dry, we will sand the ceilings. Then prime the ceilings with oil base primer due to all the ceilings having water damage which we repaired on a previous trip.
More to Come!
Here are the left overs from today. We are pretty quick at skim coating however it is very labor intensive and tiring. Tomorrow we will sand the ceilings we skim coated, and then prime them. The primer we are using is an oil base primer due to the extensive water damage these ceilings endured, there is a lot of staining.
The ceilings have been sanded, spot primed and painted. The walls are being prepped for painting and Bailey – the family dog is inspecting our work.
