The Eleventh Day: Finishing Part 1

We finished the second room! Very little remains now, besides the painting of the murals. That is due to start in about a week. On this day we put up the ceiling molding, did some touch-up painting, painted the floor molding, and cleaned-up. We also stabilized one wall that was broken, and we began replacing the broken or missing windows.

The Tenth Day: The Beginning of the Ende

On the tenth day we started the finish up. We completed the rafters and the ceiling, and we paint both walls with oil-based paint. We also began to do the windows and doors. The room is looking really good.

Putting up some of the last ceiling panels

Painting on the new oil-based paint

Doing the cutting by the edge could be annoying.

I really did work in this project, honest!

We also painted the windows

And the radiators

The windows could be difficult, do to the precision required.

Here is a comparison of the new colors and the old colors.

Finishing up for the day!

The Eighth Day

The eighth day was a short day, where we merely finished up the spackling.

The Ninth Day

On the ninth day we put up the water-based paint and finished most of the rafters. Only a small area remains. We also put up about a quarter of the ceiling panels.

Putting on the paint!

It looks a lot better than the previous coat!

The new coat of paint really makes the room feel brighter

We also put on a good bit of the ceiling

The Seventh Day

On the seventh day, we finished up putting on the mortar, we speckled most of the room and we put up a couple rafters. Unfortunately our drill broke after four rafters, so we had to stop with that until it could get fixed.

We started the rafters, before the drill broke.

Mixing up some mortar, just to finish up.

We put on most of the spackling today.

Day Six: Here We Go Again
