I know you’ve been waiting for these. ;)
I went over to the new house this morning to meet with a painter and took a boot-load of stuff with me. I know I could go into this with a DIY attitude and save a pile of money as a result but this house has had some serious neglect. The DIY paint job that was done several years ago is pretty poor.
These walls need serious help. Ignoring the ceilings for now, this will be a big-impact task so I want it done right, as quickly as possible. That ain’t gonna happen if it’s left up to me. But depending on how the quote turns out, it might make sense to repaint in stages. We’ll see what happens.
For the rest of the travesty tour, with extensive commentary, head over to Flickr.
