Last weekend my project was to turn a Montreal Canadiens bedroom into a normal one. Heajin and I spent last Saturday morning sanding, filling holes and painting trim before she had to go to work. I got a coat of paint on before we headed home. Tom and Stuart spent the day getting an old hot tub moved out of the way to prepare a spot to build a new storage shed.
Sunday morning we returned to do it again. Two more coats of paint. By the time we got home we were exhausted and ready to have a few days off.
Today we headed back again. We finished up the Montreal room with the fourth coat of paint and all the trim. Here is the before and after.
Quite a difference. The room is smaller now due to all the extra paint but it is sure brighter.
We started on the next room. It is a Toronto Maple Leafs theme room. That is as bad as the team!!! Pictures to follow tomorrow. Tom and Stuart got the new shed all put together. Pictures of that to follow also.
Tired but tomorrow is another day.
Until next time - safe travels.

We have found that the new Behr paint with primer does a better job than most other brands out there today. It saves time and paint by covering everything in one coat. Severe cases like you had might take a second coat. Those must have been the kids rooms for the previous owners.

It's about time.
You are right Rick. But we were using Behr paint and primer in one. Even with this top quality paint it took more coats than I like to paint. Still looking for that magic paint that just leaps out of the can and on to the wall. So far I have not been able to locate it.
