Over a half mile

Having cracked through the most difficult pieces yesterday, we made headway again today and completed the first finishing coat on all of the trim. It rained all night and our setup in the 3 car garage proved to be invaluable, although a bit tight on drying space. By 1 PM Mr. Sun poked his head out and the fog had cleared. We continued to finish up our last batch while the morning batch dried in the sun.
By 3 PM, we were finished painting and began to move what we could into the basement to cure for the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately, most of the trim will need a 2nd coat and I hate to leave my Dad here with it. I’ll try to get out here again to finish it up.

By the time all of the trim is painted, we will have painted about 1,000 ft. of trim 3 times...over a half mile! Yikes!
