Wellp, about the paint brush problem, even THAT can be minimized! Paint stores are like toy stores to a man. One of the best brands of Paint Brush are called PURDY. Purdy's are purdy good. They make real silky models. Open the fine envelope cover. Cool design for a paint brush cover. A 3 and a half inch sash (angled) Purdy Latex only brush is a work of art. Oh boy! Great for "cutting in" those corners, doing the windows without getting a drop on the frame. Get a 2 inch sash (angled) for painting the frame, shoot for nary a drop on the glass.
So, you want to make sure you get paint that does not drip as much. Oh boy!!! Epoxy Latex! That good stuff. Even smells good. And then, get colors to match the smells. Deep chocolate brown. Smells like chocolate. amazing. Slightly reddish Peach. Smells like a jar of peaches. even more amazing.
Then come the really cool buckets!!! One gallon buckets, with awesome handles! Oh, and they make clips for the bucket handles to hang the bucket on the ladder. Every painter knows not to move a ladder until the bucket is safely away from the ladder. Oh by golly, they got rollers too. Cool rollers! not talking about those cheapo dime store rollers. Roller heads fluffy and strong. look how well its made. Ohhh, they have awesome hotrod handles for the rollers too!!! Ergonomic rubber parts, fancier than a colgate toothbrush or than a Schick razor with 5 blades!
Gonna want to keep these things all nice and clean. Better get a 5 gallon bucket or 2 for that! Oh man, look at those painting tarps! those'll last 40 years, and will have drips on them in decades to come that will tell history. That red. That was the deck steps 27 years ago. That pea green was the kitchen 14 years ago. can't tell all the shades of white primer on it though...
O! Looky! Wizzers! and Wizzer handles too! They have a 30 inch long reach! Oh, and thinking of that, how do we do the stairwell without the 12 foot extension handle? cool yellow fiberglass! gonna be fun learning how to use that wizzer to cut in...
Uh, thinking of it, better keep your husband away from the section of the paint store where they have...shhh...(airless sprayers and pressure washers)...i was quiet...or else thousands of bucks will be spent, and you might have to put your husband's name in the yellow pages as a painter contractor to pay for those new toys. as it is, neighbors will ooo and ahhh at his new painting toys, er, tools, and will want him to paint their houses. Wellp, if he does see and get those airless things and pressure washer machines, he'll be needing a covered trailer for them, the new shocks, the tail hitch...
All this could happen if you take him to the paint store to get a Purdy paint brush he'll enjoy using...
