    I would count it. Not something that you do every day. Don't know how you will count it. Guess try to figure the amount of time you are doing heavy lifting, painting, etc. It's a guess...that way you can log some calories burned and also have some that will be bonus!

    There is an exercise for moving furniture I believe and I would log the washing the walls as vigorous housework. As for the painting part there is one for carpentry. May be light to moderate. You're gonna burn all kinds of cals!!!!

    I'd say either cleaning - or there is a "moving" choice as well. Count away!!
