I thought that was ridiculous.   Now we have company coming.  I spent 570 at sherwin Williams today for paint alone!!   I also enlisted the help from a couple employees.  It’ll get done.  Comes out of my pocket though.  Idk how it goes from her wanting to pay someone to me doing it and also paying a couple employees to bail me out and help.  So I expect to be out close to a thousand.  And I [BLEEP] hate painting!!!With a [BLEEP] passion!  As long as the wife is happy?   Idk, between you and I, my patience are wearing thin with this chick.

I think my wife owes me money.  I may just send her an invoice.

Hey, I've seen that movie.  The housewife doesn't have money for the contractor, and she has to pay another way.

No joke, I sent her an invoice from my lawn business. I sent it for 1,000,000.00.  (I’ll delete it). And guess what!? No attempt to pay it off.  

Thank goodness they guys can through.  We knocked out two coats in the vast majority of the house today.   It’s probably selfish of me but I take that as a respect thing.  I know what I’m paying them for their “day job” and I know they’re good.  But was pleasantly surprised they showed up on an off day (despite getting paid cash)  I had a one not show, but he said he was unavailable.  I’m so happy we got so much done. Enough I can solo it alone to finish up tomorrow if I have to.  

Idk, how it goes from the wife taking her money to pay close to 4K to have this done to me paying over 500 for paint alone and paying my own help to get it done.  Have I said I loathe painting?  Me thinks my wife royally played me.  For that, well played wifey, well played!  

I’m not going to forget this soon.
