Help Has Come! Brother Frank To The Rescue!

 Thank goodness for family! My brother Frank from Chicago  came into town to assist in painting the downstairs. We spent a lot of time talking about the space in general and came to many conclusions of what needs to be done.
The rooms downstairs are pretty much the same routine as the upstairs rooms, start by cleaning the walls, remove the blinds and remove all the old caulk from the windows and recaulk.

The video is Frank walking the space and talking about what we need to do. Cleaning the walls and priming were the most time consuming, and I still continue to despise painting! The same color Pittsburgh "Super White" is the color of choice for the downstairs too.

The only lights throughout the unit are the overhead lights that are original. I have removed them to clean the rings that are stainless, shown is the nice patina nicotine.... There are grilles not shown, I painted them flat black.
