Day 195 May 1, 2002

It took all day but I got 2 coats of primer on everything. Everything would be 2 bedrooms, 3 closets, a hall, a bathroom, a wall in the loft, a kitchen wall, and 2 walls above stairs and 1 below.

I used my Wagner Power Roller. That's a battery powered paint roller. It has a little electric pump that feeds paint through a tube to a special roller that has holes inside it to let paint through. It works very well as much of the time spent painting comes from reloading a regular roller. Since this eliminates that part, the paint goes on as fast as you want, or as fast as your arm lasts. The downside (why is there always a down side?) is it takes a good half hour to clean as it has to be disassembled completely. It also wastes a fair amount of paint because so much is trapped in the roller and tube that you can't use.

9 hours, breezy, sunny and a little warmer around 58.
