Wainscoting up!

We're slightly behind schedule on the bathroom renovations... but hoping to gain some ground this week!

The good news is that the wainscoting is up!

In progress
We primed about half the boards before installing.  I fully painted the ones placed behind the radiator- they still need touch up, but I knew it was going to be difficult to paint behind the radiator once installed.

Most of the weekend was spent touching up nail holes with wood putty, and once dry, sanding... lots & lots of sanding.  At one point all four of us were in there working on it!

Last night I cleaned up all the wood chips and saw dust with the shop vac, and got the walls cleaned with the tack cloth.

If all goes well, I hope to prime & paint each night after work this week.
(A challenge since I'm usually ready to fall into bed when the kids get tucked in!)

But I think I'm motivated now that the end is in sight!
