That is just nuts! I think I would be painting the house on my own instead of hiring anyone! It is cheaper and you can make sure it is done the way you like it! If I lived closer I would come over and help ya out!

Thanks, you all are the best. I know $800 doesn't sound like much really, but it is to me when all this guy would do is walk in and paint. I'll get it done, not sure if I can get it done before school starts, but I'm going to try.

I informed my son that he will be helping getting the first coat on, then I will do the 2nd coat myself..to cover up whatever mistakes he makes....LOLOL. I'm so picky, but I want it nice. I'm sure it won't be painted again for quite a few years.

Having Ricky help is a good idea.......free labor!!!!!!

I don't think that I'd pay $800 either especially to "just" come in and paint. If it was later in the fall I'd come and help you.

Janet, i feel you pain, i was painting the house when i was pregnant trying to get some of the rooms done before the baby was born, and with the baby on the way we had no extra money to hire anyone, to busy buying baby stuff.

Janet · 07-24-2008, 02:03 PM

I told Ricky that I would show him the correct way to paint and that he could only do the first coat until he was really good at it....LOLOL...I shouldn't be so picky, but I am. I'll do the second coat to fix whatever is wrong with the second coat.

Get this....the guy that gave me the high estimate called today. He lowered his estimate to $750 if all he had to do was paint. Well, now of course I don't trust the booger, so I'll still continue on with my plans for Ricky and I to finish it. Geesh...can't find good help in this town.

Janet, I think this is yet another area where you and I are alike. No way will I hire someone to do what I CAN do myself... even if it almost kills me to do it. lol
