Bedroom Doors, Trim and Primer

 After we patched all the holes in the wall and put new trim boards up we were ready to primer the room. It was really important to primer the rooms since we need to seal the walls from the smoke. We got the Kilz Primer at started painting. We found out later that you have to buy a special primer to stick to the nicotine stains. Our primer began to peel off the walls like a sunburn. We then had to repaint the rooms with the expensive but correct primer.

Mike was painting the rooms in the middle of summer. It was so hot in the rooms because we had to tap off all the windows. We had to tear holes in the plastic to get some fresh air in.

What a difference a coat of primer makes.
