So, do you think I expected him to know too much? Well. I guess I do always buy the paint. But? Get white trim paint wrong? He came home for the 2nd time and said, "Will interior trim paint be OK?" He thinks he is very funny. I guess he wanted to see if I would lose it.He thought satin was shinier than semi gloss. Of course he forgot his phone to call me and ask. They will tell you anything that you don't know in a paint store. We were supposed to sand the trim together. He went to our little boys soccer games....went to get paint...and then he went to get the paint again...At least he just went to get take-out for dinner. I always think a job will take an hour or two. Sanded the trim and floor till dark.
I used Satin.
Wait....he's a professional painter and you did it? When I cannot motivate my husband to fix something I tell him he's got a week to do it, or I will do the best I can. I can do a lot of things but, they are many thinks he can do very well. We had birds coming into my guest room, only to discover the pipe from the wood stove had rusted through in the fire place. We had not used it in years. So I went on and on and threatened to do it myself. He went straight out and bought the pipes and fixed it.Anther job I thought was a 2 hour job...2 struggling days.
So again I approached my painting day with my 2 hour plan to paint the deck of the porch. All prep work done yesterday. Some white trim painting first and then the deck.....My husband built news hand rails for the front steps.(Told him someone was going to sue us when the rail gave way.)I started with the most annoying part first, all cutting in by the house and painting the front edge behind the plantings. At dark, the rolling of the rest still not done. Now that has to just take 2 hours with the worst part done!
