A So Cal Girl in the Desert

The interior of our house was painted today, and I'm hoping that there is more than one coat. There must be, right? I'm going to wait to see before I sound the alarm, as we really have to pick our battles. I don't want to prematurely accuse anyone of poor workmanship. I thought that when the house was painted it would look more finished and look a whole lot better. What the paint really does is enhance all the flaws in the structure. Gaps in the baseboard seams, drywall dents, mashed trim. Hmmmmm. When everything looked rough and unpainted, it was hard to pick out the real flaws. Now that things are looking more finished, they're easy to spot. I'm hoping that the builder will go back through and fix everything, then do another coat. If not, we're going to have an awful lot of blue tape in our house (blue tape is what they use to mark homeowner-discovered flaws). We'll just have to see what happens over the next few days. Here's a picture...



UPDATE: My husband just got home and told me it was probably just primer. Duh.
