Painting a room


So my hands and arms are sore from painting. I haven't painted a room in probably 15 years. It's amazing how much I've forgotten. I'm not sure what's more annoying, the setup, the actual work, or the cleanup.

 

My sister-in-law (who I give a big thanks to for helping out) believes it's the latter item.

 

One thing I learned the hard way about painting walls is to be sure you get a good coat down the first time, and don't go wait too long to try and touch it up. Otherwise the previous works starts to come off.

 

Anyways, we did the ceiling and first coat on the walls. We left the room papered and taped down. This is because I'll have to do the 2nd coat sometime next week. I am defintely NOT going to re-paint the ceiling.

 

Once we set up all the furniture and stuff, I should have some photos handy.
