Hate it.

I hate painting.  I hate every moment of it.  I hate prepping.  I hate edging. I hate rolling.  I particularly hate having to put on two coats.

And because the family is spending Christmas here this year I decided to finally, finally, paint the one room left in the house that was still the original off white bland that the rest of the house was when I bought it.  So my weekend was spent remembering why that bathroom wasn't done yet.


Yep.  I hate painting.

  1. I use to think the taping prep was the worst part. But now that I have kids, the worst part is keeping them out of a room that is being painted... and the resulting fiasco when they don't obey.

  2. Little known fact- paining was used as torture in Soviet Gulags.

    ;)

    I hate it as well. I think houses should have smooth kydex interiors that can be hosed down and disinfected. Just need a drain in the middle of the floor.

  3. I LOOOOOOVE painting. At least the part that I do, which is watch my wife do it.

    I like the color that is on the wall right now. If my wife decides the wall needs to be a different color, I enjoy watching her little rear end go up and down the ladder. While I have a Guinness.

  5. @Keads and fuzzys dad - I kept waiting for elves to do it but no luck.

    @Andy - Two words: "cat" and "fur"...There was also a paw prints across kitchen floor incident during one project due to an unwatched paint can lid.

    @That Guy - Definite torture.

    @North - I won't watch wife's butt but she could have painted while I drank beer instead for sure.

  7. Count me in the hate painting group. Lu is the painter in our house. She won't let me get within arms reach of a roller. Love that woman.

  8. @Old NFO - True. I've put up wallpaper once. Never again.

    @Six - Next time I need to paint I'll call Lu :-)
