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.

Painting's OK.  Prep is a PITA.  Once you get everything sanded, filled, caulked, etc, the painting but is pretty painless.  Except for the high walls in stairs.  They can be troublesome.

Normally, I’d agree with you.  I don’t know what overcame me, but I didn’t tape a darn thing this go ‘round.   I did a bang up job if I don’t say so myself.  So the taping and [BLEEP] was gone.  I actually enjoyed the trim work.  I didn’t really have many areas to sand or holes to fill.  A couple here or there.  Didn’t mind that.  The rolling…. Tedious, monotonous, boring….OMG!!!   Will it ever end?   I can’t do those tasks.  The ones that are supposed to be easy.  I can do it for a bit, but whole house?  Just shoot me, please. I would rather (not kidding) watch the paint dry or go mow lawns.
