I am desperately trying to get my hallway and a bedroom painted, but I keep getting sucked in to the various debates here...and if I don't finish it, the wife is gonna' give me some serious grief when she gets home...
I hold you all corporately responsible for my failure of self-discipline... :D

2. If I was there, I'd grab a paintbrush |
|
but it's likely your wife would wonder what an old fat woman was doing in your dwelling, arguing with you about politics.

12. I had something that I needed to do today but I made the mistake of |
|
logging on to DU.
This place has a way of taking up your time.
What color are you painting?
Maybe we can help you make up some reasons way you didn't get finished.

17. I'm using Sherwin/Williams... |
|
200 flat white on the ceiling...
and SW Cashmere flat enamel ("Creamy") on the walls, both are pretty quick drying...there is only a bit of colorant added to the Cashmere...

25. SW is good paint...you just have to match the product line to the surface... |
|
We have several accent walls; properly applied/located, they can really add to the effect. :)

29. My first job out of high school was painting and dry wall repair. |
|
We learned to paint the proper way.
I like the multi-color look, just couldn't stand to have just one or two colors.

26. That would actually be a viable scenario, given the current state of my garage... |
|
except I had all the necessary materials piled in the master bedroom last night, and she tripped over them on her way to the potty, which brought on a spate of terrible cursing... :scared:
:D

you had to check out the color with your buds at DU, and being the cat-herders we are, we couldn't agree on a color. Cashmere sounds nice but I would worry about the shedding.

That could actually work...especially if I told her I had to upload pictures to the photo forum for confirmation of each step of the operation... :D
Now...about that "shedding..." :rofl:
