Wren’s Nest Conservation Update — Preparing for Paint Part 2

As I learned while working at Aubuchon Hardware, primer is important when you’re fixing to paint.

For our benefit, our contractors are using tinted primer.  This way we can easily see their progress and make sure that no area goes unprimed.

Yes, they are spraying on the primer.  They’ll spray on some of the paint, too, but then brush on the final coat of paint.  This saves time and money without compromising the historical integrity of the paint job.

They covered most of the back of the Wren’s Nest on Tuesday.  The plastic sheets over the windows make me feel like we’re being quarantined.  It’s probably for the best.
