Here we are with phase completed. I ended up sanding most of it down with palm sander. I filled in all the nail holes and spacing in trim with white caulking. I intend on staining the oak bench last. Which is why I painted the built in first. I was very surprised at how much paint I had to put on to get a solid base coat. After painting the base coat I noticed some of the caulking in the nail holes shrunk. I will go back over them with wood filler. Like I should have done the first time.
Post white base coat
Sanded and prepped for paint
I hired two of the most experienced painters I know to help get this done. They were so excited to be a part of the project!
My wife has been after me for sometime to build out a wall in the house where we can hang jackets, back packs, and shoes. A type of catch all area. I don't even know the proper terminology to be honest. But I have 3 kids and she wanted 3 stations. One for each kid..
That project started today. After months of grinding me down to get it done. I want to share some of the progress photos as it actually is coming out very nice.
After a new trips to Home Depot...
Stage one is complete! Everything is in place. I now need to fill in nail holes, sand, and paint! Hopefully, thay can get done by next weekend. My wife is very happy. For now....
