A little weekend PAINT stripping

I wanted to get the base board stripped down so the crew would paint it this week along with the rest.  They would have scraped it but not taken all the paint off.  That’s fine for up high stuff but for something down at eye level I prefer it to be stripped down completely.  So during Alex’s naps on Saturday I got the whole section stripped down and sanded.

Finally got this base piece under the bumpout stripped down. The corners were pretty rotted so I cleaned them up and used some wood repair/filler.

The other side of the bumpout.

On Sunday during her 1 nap (from now on we are sticking with 2 naps on weekends, she was cranky today!), I got the moldings painted red and the holes all filled on that board.  It’s ready for a final sand/prime/paint which i think the crew can handle tomorrow (hoping for no rain!!).

All ready for the crew!

This saves them from cutting in any red/yellow. They can get all the yellow painted then add the moldings last and just touch up the nail holes.

After bedtime I got the second coat of paint on the moldings and the porches all cleaned up so we could temporarily store our new tub on the porch.  Once the crew is done using the upstairs master bathroom for work, we can move the tub up there.  We now have most of the materials for finishing the little upstairs bathroom, we just need to get cracking on it!
