I documented the process to paint the attic conversion that we have spent a couple of months working on. I am using a Graco airless spray rig that I bought a few years ago at a big box store. It has paid for itself MANY times over. This is part 1 of a 2 part video series. In this one, I sprayed the drywall primer and the trim paint. For paint I only use Benjamin Moore. It is my favorite to use and it wears amazing – not cheap though. Wear your mask and keep your lungs healthy!

Attic Remodel: Week 6
This week, we went from bare studs to insulation to wiring to drywall with a dash of new windows thrown in for good measure. The HVAC split unit head vacuum & power lines were installed and we had a serious accident in the attic that occurred during that process.
Film Friday – Attic Week 5
We made huge progress in week five of the attic remodel, even with a couple of setbacks. The windows still are not in, but that is due 100% to the weather. I had an angry cold/flu and my thoughts about getting a little further along that weekend turned into hopeful, but unfulfilled fiction.
Film Friday – Attic Remodel: Week 4
Week 4 brings us views, natural light, and modern wiring! We had a 4’X4′ venting skylight installed that gives us sliver views of Puget Sound, The Seattle Skyline, The Olympic Mountains, and the Cascades. ALL the knob & tube wiring has been replaced, we added some lights and plugs on the main level, are ready for the windows to go in on Monday, and for the last part of the rough carpentry to happen next week as well.
Film Friday – Attic Rebuild: Week 3
The results from week three of our attic remodel: Floating Floor joists are in, new windows and skylight framed, stairs in, more Roxul insulation in, prepped and ready for electrician to remove everything scary/all the knob&tube next week.
