Greg primed the ceilings Wednesday and then put a final coat of paint up Friday night. So, Saturday morning we show up bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to clean and put some color on the walls only to look up and see that all the stains had bled through that the primer had "covered". The ceilings looked terrible. It was unbelievable, seeing as how we hadn't skimped on quality of product or coverage. 20 gallons of Kilz primer, 8 gallons of paint, $400 and 12 hours later we think we have it covered.
Frustrated? Yes. But the good news is when you tackle a project like this you go in expecting the unexpected and you leave some wiggle room in your budget for things like this. With an older home you never know what you are getting into, until you are literally in to it! So, all's well that ends well!
