Walls and Ceilings
As I think I mentioned before, this house was so covered in grease, grime and nicotine it was beyond disgusting. The missus has spent the better portion of the past week TSPing all of the walls and ceilings. If we didn't clean them, the paint wouldn't stick. TSP is nasty stuff, it can really burn your skin - so if you use it, be careful! Wear heavy duty gloves and goggles.
The ceilings in these homes are tongue and groove boards which expand and contract over time. If not sealed properly they tend to have large gaps and look unfinished. When we renovated our current home, we sealed them all up with caulk and they look fantastic. So begins that chore.

Watch out! The missus is wicked with a caulk gun!
That's it for this week!
