DIY painting of a single room~done by me and colleague

in Hive Diy4 months ago

I strongly believe in what we can do ourselves, whenever I am able to sort out an issue or work on a thing that later yield I always have a true satisfaction in my mind and. Okay I want to share with everyone what me and my colleague was able to archeive able to archeive through the weekend.

Everything from the scratch till we finished is what we did, it is good when we are heterogeneous in skills and the things we love doings,so aside from writing on hive I have many other things I do, I was told that no skill is a waste no Mather how small it is, and here I have seen it that al skill are significant in solving problems in our environs.

Together we were able to do a painting job

he called me within the week to ask if I will be free in the weekend that he has a job to deliver, I agreed on everything he said, so on Friday I left for the job.
We made it clean and demure to the liking of our client.
Lets get it step by step how it went.

Before we started the actual painting, we did a very thorough screeding, screeding out the old paint on the wall was so that we had a clean and smooth surface on the wall to give a smooth painting. This creeding covered the whole room including the ceiling.

After the screeding we started painting, this painting was just the first roll and nothing serious really happened here.👇

After this time, next on the list was filling, using the white wall filler, this was to fill and correct some holes on the wall, this will create a plain and a balanced wall. image below👇

After the fillings were completely done the beauty began to show, the next thing on the list was detailing. We started the detailing, in some parts of the wall that the roller could not cover or fit in, this was archieved through the use of hand brush.places like the door frame, window frames and angles and nooks.

Next on the list was a retouch, this was the final roll, this time we were close to finishing, so this was the last slide on the wall to give it the real colour and beauty.
After this it was already late in the evening, so we were preparing to go.


You guys needed to see how I was 😀
I was so dirty, all from the dust of the paint and the paint itself.
It was successful and my happiness is that we did a clean work.

Hope you enjoy the view

This is nice
Great job guys.

Aww. We just learned the four processes involved in painting an apartment;

  • Screeding

  • Filling

  • Detailing

  • Retouch

You did a great job explaining each step. There's no doubt one of us can successfully paint an apartment after reading this.

We are grateful to your partner for inviting you to join him in the job and you got the chance to make extra cash. He's a kind person.

Thank you for teaching us how to paint. You both did a clean job. Now, go wash up, lol
