Hall Tour
Bob shows us the long curved wall in the loft's hallway. The wall serves as a divider between private and public spaces as well as providing a lot of storage. It was made in the shop off site with plywood and masonite and then brought back to the loft and installed. The additional storage allows for fewer freestanding pieces of furniture. The wall effect continues to the front and is accented by yellow paint that is painted from dark to light. Bob meets with TJ the painter who gives us some pointers on painting with a spray gun. He says that to avoid messes you must keep the gun one foot away from the spraying surface, move it at a consistent rate, and overlap passes for complete coverage. For a gradient effect, spraying is superior to rolling. TJ fades the paint by backing off with speed and stepping away from the wall. Bob reminds us to clean the machine, nozzles, and hoses before switching shades and colors.
