I hate to paint. My small foyer and living room are way overdue for a new look. Mark and I haven't painted since we bought the house, almost 12 years ago! We thought about hiring someone, and even got an estimate, but with only one income over the summer, gas prices being what they are, vacation coming up... and we can't forget the new IPHONE... well, we decided to save some money and do it ourselves. Besides hating to paint, the other really good reason we haven't painted in 12 years is because Mark and I sometimes.. well... sometimes we have a difference of opinion in how things should be done. So here we go again! It should be fine. We've grown and matured a lot in the past 12 years. He's very well practiced in saying "Yes Dear", and I've come to understand that when that little vein stands out in his forehead, it's time to shut up. Wish us luck!

We're right there with you
We're right there with you guys! We haven't painted in...well, longer than you and the time has come. But we've struck a pretty good deal - I have no patience for the drop cloths, taping off, etc. I just want to start rolling the walls. Steve, on the other hand, hates to paint but doesn't mind the prep work. So, I think we may have found our balance! Let us know how it goes for you guys!
