GETTING STARTED: PAINTING SPECIAL "ANTIQUE COPPER" FINISH ON FIVE KITCHEN CEILING BEAMS

Sooo, what did YOU do today that was exciting, thrilling and breathtaking??


Just kidding!  This is what I do for a living and it's just routine to me.  This ceiling is about 15' high.  I use the smaller ladder to climb up on the scaffolding and then climb the 8' ladder, painting these beams.  There were five darkly stained beams and I'm painting them to my "antique copper" special finish to (kind of ) match the vent-a-hood.  This is the primer coat and I have two more steps to go.  I have to go around that kitchen two more times on that scaffolding!


I'm going to sleep very well tonight!!

    What a huge job, Lynda. I'm sure it turned out wonderful. That is a very tall ceiling.
