More Deadlines

We were asked to host a tour in the spring. A group of architects will be in town and we'll be giving them a tour.

Of course that means we now have a deadline to get a bunch of stuff done.

There has been a lot going on at work, so I knew I wouldn't have time to do some of the things on the list. We have a few good people to call on though.

A call went out to William the painter. He's done high quality work for us in the past and had an opening in his schedule. Arrangements were made and he completed the work in about a week - far quicker than I would have been able to do it.

I had a little carpentry to complete beforehand and managed to get it done in time for him.

He painted the back hall on the second floor.

He had to prep and paint all the woodwork and the final coat on the walls.

He also did some touch-up on the attic stairs.

And the back stairs from the main floor to the second floor.

The treads were previously grey and are now chocolate brown, which coordinates better with the stained front stairs.

The handrail was also cleaned up and re-stained.

The balusters were also repainted.

And lastly, the woodwork and walls of the back hall on the main floor.

Looks much better now!
