I hate painting

[Brandon]

I really hate the previous owner of our home didn't paint behind their curtains. The room has 3 colors around the windows. Ugh.

Painting always leads to more work as projects come up from it.

Painting is my least favorite DIY home improvement project!

Its not my favorite thing but i dont hate it. Made some decent money doing it while i was between jobs. Open rooms arent bad, bathrooms and kitchens suck though

I wish this was done when we moved in but my timeline didn't go nearly as planned.

Got the time now to do it but have to work with all the furniture and stuff... I just got the hardest wall done so I have that going for me.

 

[Biggredchev]

I just move everything to the center of the room and cover it.

Went to the in-laws today to do a single bathroom exhaust fan and 2 can lights... 2 fans, the lights, and a cost of paint in their master bath, im headed to m.i.l's dad's to put in a ceiling fan and a couple outlets.. for now... all because I offered to paint the ceiling for them later this week... lol

The most accurate words ever spoken on INGO. Amazing how the cheapest way to make a room look different inevitably leads to very expensive ways to make a room look different.

I painted the ceiling of the media room in the basement on Saturday.

I too hate painting. Among my most hated painting jobs is bead board. Thick roller to get in the grooves, but not too thick. Enough paint, but no too much or it will get gloppy and cause drips.

Guess what some genius decided to put on the ceiling in the media room a couple of weeks ago.

I don’t mind the painting itself, it’s all the prep required before you paint that sucks.

 

[JRR85]

I do the prep and the wife paints. I hate painting.

^^^This.^^^ I recently painted our bathroom. It's not very big. Maybe 7'x10' at the most, but I'd venture to say that I could probably paint our entire living room, dining room and hallway in about the same amount of time that it took to paint the bathroom.

Last bathroom i did took me almost 5 hours in prep alone. Painting is easy and goes quick, its the prep and reassembling that sucks.

2 coats done on the accent wall (tv wall), 1 coat on the other 3 and about to start second coat. Then the ceiling. Eeks.

I stained the cabinets yesterday, hung a new front door sunday. Plans are to change out our air conditioner tmrw... got to keep my self going.

I still hate painting

I'd paint the border wall with a small brush if someone would come paint my baseboards. Every time I think about getting started, I look at all of it and realize $4500 might be a bargain.

I've painted every wall in every house I've ever owned... most multiple times.

Painting ceilings? Nope... if it's time to paint the ceiling, it's time for a new house.

Now I can add, trenching for a new driveway post lamp and piping 50 ft. And terrible shooting a bunch of stuff in the basement.... this thread was bad luck.

This. Last time I painted a room, it eventually required new curtains, a new rug and new fabric to recover the dining room chairs

I hate painting too. I'm probably the world's 2nd worst painter (only because someone with a vision impairment has me beat).

When we finished our basement, my wife (who is good at painting) told me it was too big a project for her, so either we pay to have it done or I do it.
