Primer Done

I love the smell of latex primer burning on a halogen painter's lamp in the evening. There's nothing like it. That chemical smell... Smells like... victory over Chinese Drywall...

2 coats of primer on everything. 35+ gallons of paint in a day and a half. I repeat, paint sprayers are fast, but not really all that fun. David agrees.

Tomorrow, ceiling white. Expect to finish that tomorrow fairly easily - two coats even... Then remove all this da** masking and open some windows - get some air in here!

I had convinced myself to trim out the house first, then point-up, then final coat... but my decision pendulum is swinging the other way again. Point-up now, paint this weekend, then trim-out. Like all CD decisions, I'll sleep on this and get the decision right tomorrow. I feel driven to paint this weekend due to the help that will be here, but I may have to deal with sub-par point-up as a result - and will have to touch up paint and drywall most assuredly after trim. But will that be so bad if I have 6 or 7 painters going this weekend? 6 or 7 on trim won't be bad, but I can't see that being all that efficient whereas painting would be. Though, I could get some electrical done this weekend with 3 and have 3 on trim duty... Not really a bad problem to have...

I'll let you know tomorrow. Feel free to vote via comment field...
