Interior Painting in the Cold

This weekend at The Ridge was all about painting.  The ceiling in the hall, the posts, the doors and the walls were all painted.  As he was painting the posts, Brent decided to paint the two (2) downstairs bedroom doors the same color.  The crown molding and baseboards will also be painted the same off-white color.

The green color from the upstairs wall and the stairwell was continued into the hall downstairs.  This upcoming weekend we plan to install the craftsman style door casing and maybe the crown molding.

We woke up to a surprise snow shower on Sunday.  The sun came out around 10:30 am which was about the time the snow plow made its round in our hollow.  The girls shoveled the driveway and we had no problems leaving in the late afternoon.

Painting the downstairs interior doors.

Applied about three (3) coats over the previous stain.

The finished product.  We still need to perform some cutting and touch up paint.

The new door trim needs to be installed along with the crown molding and baseboard.

Need to re-install a face plate.

The caps on the sides will be red oak and stained to match the stair treads.

We already have cut and fit the handrail and will install the same iron ballasters as up stairs.

The surprise on Sunday morning.
