Finishing Touches

The title of this post is a little premature, since the basement is largely incomplete, but Sue did put the finishing touches on the hallway last night. Yay! She's happy, as she wants that to be her last home improvement project for a long while.

I don't mind the house projects, but I do want to get back to doing cut-outs and animation. I painted 95% of the rest of the basement with a color called Archival - which is gray with a hint of blue. We also put up the rest of the wainscoting we had. I need one more piece to complete the job. (Cutting around the stairs is going to be tough.)


For the downstairs we used C2 paint. Ever heard of it? We used LoVo eggshell, and it really does well with coverage. It doesn't emit as much painty smell, and the other thing that's cool about it, though it's thick when it goes on, it's less sticky when you wash it out of brushes and rollers. It is more expensive, but that's how it goes.

Tonight, I'll see about painting the wainscoting white and installing the wainscot caps. Jonathan's coming over around 8:00, and we're going to finish the desk/worktable.

We harvested our first jalepenos from the garden last night.


Way back in April, we planted Planty the Plant. She was just a wee lass. Now look at her!


PS
I feel obligated to warn all our faithful ProPil readers, and it seems fitting due to the title of this post... Provident Pilgrims will end as of the week of Columbus Day.

Columbus Day week makes sense because everyone will be in the spirit of discovering a place already discovered, calling it your own, and demolishing everything in your path only to build something different - just the sort of spirit we've been in here in Providence for the last 15 months. We'll have some special features that final week. More to come.
