Fixin' Holes

The last item on my list that had been written on my chalk board mini-wall (which had been labeled January, which is silly because what would I have done in February if I had gotten all that done in January) was fix holes.  I replaced my list with a fun saying that Christine found for me.
So there were several holes in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, mostly from the windows getting replaced.

A couple of the holes were deep.

I applied two layers of plaster.
To get the orange peel texture I bought a can of spray stuff.

Applying this was probably the most fun. I got the water soluble so that any over spray can be cleaned up with water.

Then it is prime, paint, paint.
It’s a little funky up close, but in the bathroom trim boards should mostly cover it.
At first impression it all looks good. Much, Much better…
