Paint, more paint, and some brick sealer.

So, it took us FOREVER to get the rest of the tin up in the back of the room, lots of little nails, lots of cursing. Not to mention just trying to get all the dust out of there, from the blasting, I literally vacuumed the entire brick wall, which improved it about 45%, there was so much dust! The floors, the walls….Then we were ready to paint. To paint up under the tin, then to seal the brick, up under the tin….These are the details that take SO MUCH TIME. Here are some photos of the mess:

 

Painting the tin was really satisfying, we had to cover everything we could, that silver paint flakes out everywhere!!!
