The fine pen is a good idea. I'll get one of those.
And okay... no TV. These people are strictly old school, they sit in the living room and have conversations.
It took approx. 3 hours to fully paint the folks in two sessions. It's a highly diverse group that reflects the street where we live.
The standing younger guy and his "mom" will be greeting people at the front door.
In the dining room we have the older dude and his grandson?. Put a hat on her and she looks like Queen Elizabeth...
And there's a small gang in the living room.
I painted the front door mahogany and attempted to give it some grain using two coats.
All the folks are glued in place so the interior is ready to place when the exterior is done. To that end I put two coats of craft paint "vanilla" on the walls and then masked all the trim. I then gave the trim and tape edge a coat of Dullcoat to seal the edges and pre-fill the grain for the trim blue that I'll paint on Monday.
While that was drying I decided to add more trim to the roof/Mansard junction. The roof was not fitting tightly and I didn't like it. I'm installing fascia boards that will be painted trim blue. I got about 1/3 applied before running out of time.
I just wasn't happy with that top edge and the new trim helps.
Everyone have a safe, socially distant weekend!
