I Kilzed It

I’m becoming increasingly incredulous that anything I have posted or will post regarding the renovations of my house has been, will be, or will have been interesting. With that in mind, I applied primer to my walls and ceiling prior to painting. That’s right: primer.

Kilz is the brand name of the primer. It seals in stains and odors and whatever else is stuck to the wall, including (I hope) spiders. The wall really soaks the stuff up. Interesting?

The roller is coming. Beware the roller.

The two-sided roller holder, btw, was kind of a dumb idea. I bought a normal one later. The fake fireplace has gone the way of all the earth: whited out by primer. Before/after:

The step ladder did not move. It is an optical illusion.

If you try hard enough, you can still see the fake fireplace. For now. And I’d have uploaded a better “before” photo, but that would’ve been on my other computer, which is on the bed. Clearly, then, a better “before” photo is (and will remain) out of the question.

Up next, the excitement level skyrockets as I start painting the ceiling. Pregnant women and readers with heart conditions are advised to avoid my blog for the remainder of the week.
