I hate painting. It has to be the worst thing i can ever think of. I'd even prefer walpapering over painting.
Because I listened to some douche at the paint desk, and not my gut, I painted 5 coats of paint in my dining room to find that it was still blotchy. Sooooo, now I am priming and starting over again. I feel like I've done more painting that michealangelo.

The moral of the story, the person behind the paint desk is a douche. Don't listen to them - USE A PRIMER!

My college has a degree in paint mixing. You may not know how to do long division, but you can make a kick ass green and be able to say you have a college degree.

well i can assure you that this person did not have anything more than an idea of how to use the rubber mallet to put the lids back on the paint cans.

You gotta love community colleges in the USA. such a wide variety of courses

there's pros and cons to both painting and wallpapering ...

if you don't know what you're doing there's bigger chances you'll get it done "right" with painting than you would with wallpaper.

I hate wallpaper cause it's usually done so poorly.

Have been working on some personal rental estate investment projects over the past years and last set of apartments was all wallpapered by a retired pro plaster/wallpaper worker. Freaking awesome work totally gave me a totally new idea on the possibilities!
