The tape on the side cabinets still won’t stay in place, and I realized that it’s because of the force of the air movement that’s blowing into the room through the air vent, and then the pull of the air into the intake vent in the hallway. The plastic starts billowing out towards the foyer, pulling the tape off of the cabinets, and I have to keep going back and pushing it back in. But at least it has stayed attached to the ceiling, so that has made things so much easier and less frustrating. Patching those tiny holes from the pushpins won’t be difficult at all.
Earlier in the week, I finished up the sanding in on the foyer walls. They still look like a complete mess, but they’re smooth and ready for primer. And then I turned my attention to the bedroom. I couldn’t just prime over the stripes on the bedroom walls because those areas where I had taped off those white stripes left ridges. They were slight, but they would have shown through a coat of primer. I had considered filling them in with drywall mud, but I ended up sanding the walls instead to smooth out those ridges.
