After the more challenging days of remodel the evenings are usually ended with a steaming hot bubble bath and a glass of wine, after the grueling weekend we just had both were greatly earned.
As reported earlier all the ceilings are popcorn-free and upon recommendation of a clueless home depot employee we also primed all of the ceilings for texture. The first of our disappointments on Saturday was when we learned we did NOT need to prime the ceilings before the texture but AFTER, that was a full day and a half days work lost :(
We spent the entire first half of Saturday buying paint, primers, texture and renting the necessary machines to administer each. Our next hurdle came in the way of a faulty texture machine and a lack luster texture that was not worth the effort it took to apply it. We returned the machine and accompanying supplies and attempted Plan B - texture via expensive aerosol cans which also produced unsatisfactory results. We had spent a full day, spent more money that day than we care to share and had nothing to show for it. It was one of those soul crushing days.
Third try is a charm - Sunday we found a texture that works for us and our skill level and successfully applied it to all of the ceilings. We're happy to report the ceiling project is fully complete!
