Bite the bullet and hire a guy. I'm sure you can find an out of work actor to do it for cheap. And if he's hot, bonus!

Even with materials, even for an old house with issues, $12k seems like an awful lot...

I don't remember if that included paint, but it definitely included the other materials. We got several bids for the work, and they were all in the same neighborhood. The issue was all the hand-painting of woodwork (it's all painted), including new cabinetry in the dining room, bathroom and hall, lots and lots of doors and windows with big moldings around them, baseboards, picture rail in almost every room, and banisters/railings.
Unfortunately doing it myself was not an option, because I was pregnant.

Maybe they're all out of weed.

Unless you'll need a whole bunch of coats or have an ENORMOUS kitchen, one gallon should suffice. I have a medium-sized kitchen with 9 1/2 foot ceilings, did 3 coats and still only needed a gallon.

I just wanted to see that again, without all the annoying references to paint.

Gosh, you know, I never even considered that possibility. That actually happens?

The answer to this question is that you are both boring.

You know, you can get shots for that and it saves a lot of embarrassing phone calls.

You may paint all next weekend, if you wish. In fact, I hereby invite everyone who wants to paint to come over. |
