Painting
Here’s a little tip I’m learning the hard way. If you ever want to have the entire interior of your house painted, don’t. It is a major nightmare and something I’ll never do again. Have the place painted before you move in and then only do one room at a time after you move in.
Over the last 3 days I’ve had to move everything that isn’t a couch, desk, or large entertainment center into my garage or jam it into a closet. Now all of the remaining furniture has been piled into the center of each room and everything that isn’t a wall is covered in plastic. If they had covered up the walls I’d be bubble boy.
The best part (so far) of all of this was when I came home today. They were supposed to paint the bedrooms first so that I could set up my bed and sit in my office tonight. Well, they didn’t. They painted all of the baseboards first and won’t be doing the bedroom walls until tomorrow now. He swears will be done tomorrow, we’ll see.
