MOTH's Masterpiece

ちびちびと地下室の建築作業進んでいます。
天井の電気つながりました。明るいと作業もしやすい。

Slowly but surely, but mostly slowly, the construction of the basement room continues.
Man of the House hooked up all the lights, 8 of them.

発光ダイオードの電気が８つで、天気のいい日の日差しが入っているぐらい明るいです。

The ceiling painted and lights put in. Probably the most exciting part of this room is this bright light (well, plus the natural light from the french door). It's as bright as a sunny day and it's dimmable!

オットの強い希望で、部屋の壁の一つにレンガ風のベニヤを張ることにしました。

MOTH really wanted to try the fake brick wall over one of the walls. Kind of ironic considering the exterior of our house is all brick and we are putting in a fake brick wall inside.

嘘くさい偽レンガの上に、壁の補修に使うパテを塗ります。まだらに塗るのが決めて。ピンクのパテは乾くとクリーム色になります。

MOTH spackling.

乾いたらこんな感じ。

Dried spackled fake brick wall.

私は飾り板にペンキを塗りました。右側４本は壁と床の継ぎ目の飾り板で、左４本は壁と天井の継ぎ目の飾り板です。

I painted the base boards and the crown molding. So much easier when it's not on the wall.

ユキは断熱材の上で巣ごもりしてました。断熱材掘ってたよ。

Dog nesting on the insulation. She shredded the fiberglass by "digging" the insulation.

水で薄めた白いペンキを塗って完成。裏通りっぽい感じ。

MOTH's masterpiece completed. To finish off and seal the spackle, he painted watered-down white paint over the entire fake brick wall. I really like this sort of back alley look.
