| I love it when the DH vacuums |
The never-ending-kitchen-make-over continued today. They say there is nothing like experience and after failing miserably
two weeks ago with the Countertop Transformations® kit, we tried a second round. We made some changes in our approach to increase the chances of success and I think it worked.
LAST TIME: The video that was supplied emphasized working "quickly". Last time the thought that the adhesive base paint would dry before we got the color chips on, had me in a panic. We worked too quickly and as a result, did not get the product on thick enough and ran into each other and the counter top smudging it in a few places. We also tried to do each bank of cabinets successively, one right after another which just made the stress level increase as we went from the smallest to the longest counter top.
CHANGES WE MADE: After watching the video again, I saw that we had missed words on the screen that said we had about 20 minutes to apply the color chips. That was more time than I thought we had. This time we decided that we would do the largest counter top first. Then clean up and take a break for a couple of hours. Then go back and do both the two smaller counter tops. This helped us in two ways: We cleaned up
the mess from the first application so we were not walking around in all the color chips. It will also allow us more time on the sanding tomorrow as that has a time sensitive window, too.
Happy Sanding!!!
