Yep so I am finally doing it. I am painting the house in order to get it ready for sale. I was waiting until the weather got warmer, so I could crack the windows to help dissipate the smell.... The only thing is now, there is no smell. What kind of crazy magic is this. Now I am the first to admit, that I have not been painting anything in the recent past, but from what I can recall the fumes when painting used to be intense. Maybe I have Covid without the cough because I don't smell a thing. The Killz primer is odorless as far as I can tell as well as the paint. BTW I am not sponsored at all, but I honestly love Sherwin Williams. I goes on smooth and has great coverage. Not cheap, but it is essentially the only paint I will use.
The camera didnt show this well, but there are all kinds of kids' fingerprints here on the wall. Cant believe the kiddoes would mess things up so, but then again, they were like five years old when I painted it about 17 years ago lol.
The Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday tags are some of my faves! I want to thank @ace108 for running the beautiful Sunday tag every week and keeping such detailed stats and supporting the accounts. Also, a shout out to @c0ff33a for the sublime Sunday tag where your random Sunday posts are always welcome!
Looks like the inside of an ice arena for God's sake!
In my new house I have changed my designs to eliminate any ceilings over 9 feet. Ten feet are just overkill. All of the heat stays up there and I am getting past my best ladder climbing days. Yeah I do 10 feet and use both hands on the work, but that is my limit.

Of course blue tape is seen as far as the eye can see!
Even amongst the melee I am still finding some energy to pack a few bags, literally lol.
Just my luck as the weather turns nice, it is my lot to be stuck laboring indoors while the "Happy People" are out enjoying their lives... Well suck it up Buttercup as I know it is my fate. Always just shy of an arm's reach of fun :(

I know it has to be done, but UGH !!! Good thing it's not something that needs to be done every couple of years ....right ?
I know you'll be glad when it is finished.
Good luck with the painting.
That's a lot of work in store.
Moving right along, yes? Kilz came out with the low odor a few years back as I used it on the Shore House, which is probably ten years ago. It was a real game-changer.
I don't mind painting, because I love to change... paint is an inexpensive way to make a big change in the house. However, being under the gun or needing to get done makes it not so much fun. Pressure I do know you aren't letting yourself get stressed.
Good luck, although I know you won't need it.
Have a great day!
