Painting project

  


Brooke is moving into Ty's dad's duplex.  They have been fixing it up and she decided to paint the cabinets.  We decided to help her.  I love a good painting project.  I have taken a few days off work to help her.  





This is the best before pic I have of the cabinets.  We didn't paint those yet, but the cupboards we did paint look just like that.  We had to sand the gloss finish off first.  Well just rough it up so the paint will stick.  


The bottom cupboards were painted at one time.  We just needed to sand them too and clean them.  Paint doesn't stick to smooth surfaces.  


Brooke has become quite the drill expert being in Zoo School after all.  I love a good drill project.  


This is the hardware we need to replace.  


This is the inside of the drawers.  Not sure if we are painting them or not.  



These are the cupboards after we took the doors off.  They look better in the picture than in person.  




We roped Andrew to help us over his Christmas break.  We had to prime with two coats, and then paint with two coats.  It takes a while to paint, then let them dry and then run to maverick to get a drink refill then paint again.  





Brooke and I both ended up wearing these at the duplex. You would never know we were related.
