October 11 – Painting trim and baseboard

We worked on putting a second coat of paint on all of the door trim.  Our goal was to have all of the trim painted on all 15 doors by early afternoon.

We also painted all of the floor trim.

Joe used a foam roller to put a light coat of paint on the doors.   The doors were pre-painted by a volunteer a few weeks ago.  Unfortunately, they were painted in a garage, and never dried correctly.    Just about every door needed to be sanded.  The paint was still wet … and caked up in the sander.   Many of the doors were also painted shut.   Oh well, I hear next year the doors will be painted AFTER they are installed 🙂 .

After the painting was completed for the day, we started the clean up.  We removed all the tape and cardboard from the floors.   Most of the tools were put away.    I cleaned up alot of the paint drips on the floor.   The house is looking good!    We do have a few things to finish up tomorrow, but we are on schedule for being ready.

After work, we had a team dinner at Mason Point, the retirement community in Sullivan.  The new owner and her son joined us for dinner.  They are getting very excited about the key ceremony tomorrow!
