Spray painting in our RV

Wow, looking back on it that tape and paper everywhere was a mess, and honestly it took me longer to tape everything than it did to spray paint it!

Welcome to part two of our RV renovations, the spray painting. Unlike the rest of the painting it did not take weeks. Luckily the Valspar spray paint we bought covered in one coat and I was able to do it all in the same day.

Painting tight spaces

I have had some experience with painting in the past. 

The first job I ever got paid to do, way back when as a 14 year old, was as a painting assistant. That did not start a lifelong career but it was the first of many hours spent painting. 

When my wife and I left our first apartment I painted the whole thing in 48 hours. So with all that experience and the best paint money can buy I thought for sure I would be done painting the Defiant in no time.  

Ants in our Pants.. or RV rather!

When we first found the Defiant she was parked in the woods with a few tree branches leaning on her roof.

We carefully inspected the RV to make sure she didn't have any mice, roach, or ant infestations before we drove her home.

The first night we had her we wanted to see how the loft space (the bunk above the cab) worked and when we went to slide the frame back we found a huge colony of wood ants...
