[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if you have a 1.5 million dollar house, I don't know why you wouldn't use a professional. I've spent countless hours painting, but I dread it every time. It's not necessarily hard, but it is extremely time-consuming to do the work (especially prep work) to get a professional looking end product. I find ceilings and bathrooms especially challenging. Also, any area that has special architectural features (e.g., really high ceilings, wall mounted light fixtures, drapery rods, hard to reach areas, etc.). Add in furnishings (obstacles), and it becomes quite a job.

You're talking about painting what sounds like a large house. I'm not sure you realize just how big a job that is. If you do decide to do this yourself, buy quality paint and roller/brushes (they're worth it), plus lots of easy off blue masking tape and drop cloths. Meticulously prepare the walls, then prime (at least the patches), and apply two coats.[/quote]

Because I am not rich. I have other things to spend money on. Also, I work three days a week, so I have time.
It is 4000 sq feet, not all of it needs re painting. We could also do one room at a time.[/quote]
