I had a bit of a panic when I read the side of the primer can...there was a big warning about the vapours being extremely flammable, and being heavier than air, and being able to travel large distances to seek out any possible sources of ignition...and our furnace (with its little pilot light) is just a few short feet away from the area I wanted to prime... D'oh! After consulting with Stephen (who was safely 10 miles away from the explosion risk!) I decided to go for it - after opening every window and door on the ground level for "cross ventilation". Thank goodness it was a nice day, and not totally freezing!
It is primed. It is painted. It is in need of a second coat. Grrrr.
I had a brainwave last night. We have a dining room on the first floor which we never use because it means carrying plates, glasses, condiments etc upstairs from the kitchen. We also have a lovely sitting room which Stephen wanted to spoil by moving the giant telly into it. My brainwave? To swap the den and the dining room around...so the dining room will be beside the kitchen and the den will be beside the sitting room, which will remain lovely and unsullied by the giant telly. We have to wait for Comcast coming out to activate the TV point upstairs before we can move things around. We'll see how it works out next weekend.
