Preparing the Canvas

The came highly recommended by my star contractor, these brothers from Columbia (South America, not South Carolina). We started out friendly enough but by the end, they were frustrated because the job took them longer than they expected and I insisted that they paint over areas they missed.

The studio was done well enough but that's because the Hardie Board was already properly primed. Less than a year later, I had to have all of the trim on the house and the back door completely repainted. The painters who redid the work were fabulous, we worked together well and they were very entertaining.
