How does 70 Hack paint the stairway? Other picture


Here the Brooklyn Barrister applies primer under Jenm's watchful eye. Oh boy.

Painting the walls and ceiling around stairwells is always difficult. We built a scaffold from a bit of recycled lumber (from CindyKen's kitchen) and a recovered solid-core door from a pizza shop billn did work in. We then let the children use it for a play area.
To those who would call child services, you must bring your head in the Republic of Vermont way - that is of mind your business.
To those that look closely, there are no pliers in one of the photos and they are really well hidden in another.

Jen your only job should be keeping a close eye! Billy very impressed with the radiant ceiling. You never cease to amaze me. I know the next house will be ALL radiant ceiling heat. I see you drywalled and I see you are priming, who is spackling, I know how much you dislike it

Your doing a great job! Can't for the full VERMONT experience! You can't be too busy if you have time to unbend a plastic tube!

100% ceiling radiant? Not likely. Perhaps by the time we do the next house, we can insulate it properly and orient the windows right that we won't need much heat.

Who's spackling? Unfortunately billn is. He is a lousy applicator of drywall compound, but his price and availability is right.
