    i think i’m psychologically ready to start painting this room

    i started one and then gave up😕

    its all about preparation

    It's all about paying someone to do it professionally

    they charge like $100 *an hour* *kitten* that entirely

    otoh THERE’S a side hustle

    Soooo...I'm in the paint business...for 14.50 an hour...I gotchu

    You are $14.50 short for something and I will find out what.

    For real?! Wow, I’ve been researching paint contracting as a possible career move and I’m yet to come across anyone that pricey... and IMO, charging by the hour is kind of unprofessional.

    Painting may be the least favorite thing i do. But hiring a sub contractor to do it is crazy sometimes price wise. I usually just do it at late hours of the night and zone out with music. With any luck the house is painted in a few days. Granted its easier for me because most times im painting an empty house with unfinished floors.....making a little mess is no big deal.

    You just DO NOT TAKE food away from a hungry child. That is cruel and abusive. Crazy witch!

    Pac islanders should learn to budget and prep meals like Mexicans. Island diet is too expensive when all produced foods are controlled for export - 4 tubers selling at $22.50 per set. It's time to eat rice plus pulses & legumes. Smh. No family explosions.

    there’s a crew of 2 for that rate but they dont move too quick. i had someone quote me $350 to paint a 12x15 wall (just wall, not room) and decided to diy from then on

    At my calculations, that might not be too off the mark, even just at $25/hr. for 1 person.

    12 X 15 wall = 180 sq./ft.
    Cutting (60 min.), 1 coat of primer (35 min.), 2 coats of paint (35 min. ea.) = 3 hours

    Labour: $25/hr. X 3 hrs. = $75
    Materials: 1 gal Primer $25, 1 gal Paint $30, Supply Buffer $50 = $105
    Markup: 30%

    = $234

    *Including an overhead charge that can double the cost of labour + materials
    = $468

    I could be way off though. If anybody would know for sure, it would be @bojack5 .

    i painted it myself for $100 and it took 3 hrs

    but everything i do is halfass and i’m okay with that so

    Fantastic! !🙌 Doubt it's as half@ss as your nails are always perfection.

    I painted 6 rooms in my house. I love to paint. I painted a galaxy mural in one room. It's real bad but I'm the only one that has to see it.

    I painted one as well… once. I think it turned out ok, although I used an overhead projector to significantly speed up the process. I wouldn't mind trying it again.
