Hi All,
I started the minor reno today.
So far I have pulled up the carpets, first coated all the ceilings. I really under estimated the effort involved in doing the ceilings, not as easy as it looks!
I have given the dark stained door frames a coat of Zinsser Cover Stain. The floors have been booked into be sanded on Wednesday and I have the following questions.
1: Is it advisable to give the skirting a coat of Zinsser Cover Stain BEFORE the floors are sanded?
2: How close does the floor sander get to the skirting? I just want to know if it will touch the skiting and actually sand away any messed paint i get along the skirting.
3: When first coating the skirting, which is the best way to keep the paint off the floor?
4: I will give the walls and ceiling the 2nd coats of paint after the floors have been polished. How do you protect your polished floors again paint and is it quite easy to remove paint off a polished floor?
With limited time, this has been a very stressful reno!
Look forward to hearing your advice.
Regards,
Robbie
