Pintando (Painting)

This morning, Mike and I began to work on painting in the house. I quickly found that painting bare concrete is a lot harder than painting drywall! First, we began by spraying a "sealer" that looked like glue watered down one to five. Fortunately, Mike has an electric sprayer that made the job go a lot quicker.
Next, we began to prime with Comex primer. Because the concrete surface isn't completely smooth, it was quite a difficult job. We did the edges of the outside and the ceilings and walls in the dining room and living room inside as well as the stair well.
Then we painted the outside of the front entryway area of the house black. It went on really nice and looked great. Here you can see before and after pictures.
