. . . taping/draping . . .

. . . i've heard that real pros 

don't bother with tape . . .

. . . a steady hand 

and a quality brush 

and they're good to go . . .

. . . but i'm a sissy painter . . .

. . . blue tape and i are bffs . . .

. . . and i use 

the widest blue tape 

there is . . .

. . . i need that 

margin of error . . .

. . . then just to be sure . . .

. . . i'm also a believer 

in draping everything 

with plastic . . .

. . . especially all that beadboard 

i painted four or five times 

with a brush . . .

{two coats of primer and two or three coats of semi-gloss}

. . . i guess you could say 

i'm a little paranoid . . .

. . . gotta protect the valuables . . .

. . . i'm really hoping 

paint will wash out 

of my bangs 

before church 

in the morning

. . . and, yes, 

this is the project 

that never ends . . .
