continued prep
With the help of Mel we were able to get the majority of the prep done for panting the closets and trim. I also deviated and added some work for the MBR but it is all needed and I'm sure the couple new additons will be approved in the morning.
We both got to work on applying the primer in the closets for the MBR. We have never used primer before in our painting but decided these areas needed primer to speed things up. After that was done I taped off the door hardware and wiped both closet doors down. For now the closets and our MBR door will go back with the original (brass or copper) ? hardware. But I will be looking into finding old glass or better working brass knobs. I also wiped down the remainder of the baseboard which led to the removal of the non hidden phone jack and wire. Tomorrow I need to finish up the removal of the phone line and clean the radiator in that room. YUCK!
On another project note. I think Florentz did the trick with that nut. It held once the system was working and pressuredup. I think it might be safe to remove the towles from the radiator valve. With Florentz's fix on the nut and my O-ring and graphite packing combo we are not leaking anymore.
