Were you not planning on painting the place?

Posted by Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion (aka Krustylu) Aug 31 '09, 10:53

If you're painting it doesn't make sense for them to touch up anything.

- I helped a friend paint his place yesterday. It's not bad until you start to do the ceiling. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:59 11
  - which you do first, of course. (right???) -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:05 7
    - Did the edges around the room first, then the ceiling. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:09 6
      - Always start top down. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:10 1
        
        We did, but we did the brush work on the corners before doing the ceiling and then the walls. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:14
      - I wouldn't have done it that way. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:10 3
        
        If you do the corners and edges it looks smoother when you do the bulk of the area with the roller. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:12 2
        
        You still start top down. Corners and edgers of the ceiling, then paint. - musubi Aug 31, 11:15 1
        
        That's how we do it, I wasn't very specific I was being lazy. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:26

- I can say this strongly enough: hire professionals. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 10:55 17
  - I enjoy the precision implied by this typo. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:07 1
    - Indeed. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:08
  - I agree and have them do it a couple of days before you move your stuff in if possible. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:57 14

      - Don't pay someone to paint the walls white just to paint them again, I can do that for you. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:07 2

        huh huh - Spawn Aug 31, 11:07
      - Don't go white. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:00 8
        
        I hate agreeing with you. White sucks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:05

        No, you do a primer, then two coats of whatever. - Reagen Aug 31, 11:05 5

        Not done nearly as much these days. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:13
        
        also, if the initial colour was light enough, and what you're painting with is dark enough, you can sometimes get away with one coat. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:11
        
        Don't be lazy with the taping. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:08
        
        Pick a color, then hire a pro. He should know all these details. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:07
    - Yup. Prior to moving stuff. Once stuff is in the new place, it makes it exponentially harder. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 10:58
- I'm handy with a paintbrush. - znufrii Aug 31, 10:55
- ::reads IM... twitches:: -- nm - znu Aug 31, 10:55
- Ugh. I hate painting. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:54
