It's taped up and cut in. Lyman is rolling the first coat now.

Painter's tape is wondrous stuff. Thank you, 3M.

The painting is done.

Why, you ask, did you paint when you hired a painter last week? First, because the painter had more important chores; second, I hadn't chosen a color; and third, I like to keep my hand in. When we created the great room I painted the cabinets in the office and those in the kitchen. We are talking on the order of 60+ paneled doors and drawer fronts, four separate coats, with sanding in between. I like the work.
