Photos From the Painting Process

Here are a few additional photos of the primer stage.  I believe it ended up as the answer for "Things That Took Forever" for $400.

The knots in our beadboard ceiling after the first coat of BIN primer.

In the new game Twister:  Extreme Edition, this is the "tongue to yellow tape" spin.  Here is the connection for all the track lighting in the ceiling.

I had to invent a new technique with my edging brush to get primer into the grooves where they meet the wall.  The strange angling, later made easier by the Shortcut brush, resulted in this cool pattern.  Hence, I have patented the "Flying V" technique and will now sit back and collect the royalties.

Looking out over a sea of primed knots.

The 3-inch straight brush just didn't get along with the BIN primer, which tended to stiffen very quickly.  Since the brush was held vertically most of the time, the BIN would get smooshed into the middle of the brush and then ooze out the bottom and start to solidify.  While I didn't want to waste time wiping the brush every few seconds, this was about as far as I could push it before it all fell off.
