Since we had a mixture of old floor and new floor and floor with patches, the sub floor needed some serious attention before we could install the finish floor on top of it.  This job required some serious attention to detail.  There is no one better at these types of jobs than Pop, and he didn’t disappoint.

Also during the week, Toby and I put the finish color on the kitchen walls.  Since most of the kitchen walls would be behind cabinets (uppers and lowers), I wanted to get 1 coat of color everywhere and then a second coat in the visible areas.  Pop had purchased a Wagner TurboRoller and it is awesome.  It makes painting the walls (and ceilings, I’m sure) a snap.  I liked it so much, I bought its little brother, the Wagner TrimIt tool.

The problem I had was in removing the plastic covering the windows.  The tape (3M blue painter’s tape) pulled up some of the paint around the edges. 🙁  So I have been watching YouTube videos on how to cut in windows and doors without taping.  We will see how that works.
