Another update
The last few weeks nothing has been done on the construction of the gameroom, because ….. that part is finished.
But that doesn’t mean nothing else has been done. In fact, I’ve been doing, and still am doing, what I hate a lot: painting woodwork and walls.
But I first has to select some colors, and I got my inspiration from these great arcades
R.I.P.So I choose the colors purple for the switch cabinet, orange for both sides of the two smaller dividing walls and night-blue for the other walls. I painted the window- and door frames with ‘Rambo Pantserbeits’ boerenwit. I like the color and I still had two pints of it. And because paint is very expensive nowadays, I just as well use it.
Did I already say that I hate paintjobs? I mean, everything takes so long. First you have to clean the woodwork, then you have to cover the walls because you don’t want to have paint on the walls, do you? Then you have to put a layer of primer on it, then sand it, then the first coat of paint, sand it again, then the second coat of paint. And then ….. remove the bugs and other insects which got stuck in the wet paint …. And start over again with the second layer, after sanding of course.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
And about wall paint, never believe what shop assistants tell you. I bought my wall paint at the Praxis, and this girl told me that the orange paint would cover in one layer,
one. I looked in here beautiful eyses and I believed here. Stupid me, of course it took 3 layers!!
But finally I got about halfway now, all the woodwork is done, as are the dividing walls (yeah I know, orange …. ) and the switch cabinet. So today I covered everything, including a stroke of the ceiling, and now I’m ready for the final paintjob: the four walls. This means about 60 m2. Times 3!!! Fortunately I have a week holiday this week, and who wants to enjoy the spring sun if he can enjoy some painting?
Anyway, enough complaining, here are some fresh photo’s, taken today.
