Paint the walls first then the floor. But make sure you paint yourself into the middle of the room leaving no where to walk until it dries, that way you will have plenty of time to come to an agreement over who was right! :laugh:

This!! Plus think of how much slimmer you will be by not being able to snack mindlessly while the paint dries...

Maybe the argument is due to the fact that you say my husband and me and instead of my Husband and I. Just saying

Yes thanks for that HA I say this much I work with children and all of us suck at writing but we are great with playing with children and solving there issues at least I hope LOL. :ohwell:

OMG. *THEIR. Not there.

I'm glad someone else corrected that, because I didn't want to say anything. :laugh:

anyone with any common sense knows you always work from the top down when painting.

I agree with twinsanity. Walls first, floors last, painting floors from farthest corner, painting toward the exit.
that way, the walls can be drying while you begin the floor.
The floor can dry (and floor paint usually takes longer to dry, as it is epoxy) for as long as it needs to, you are done. And you will not be tempted to walk on it when it is "almost dry- oops" to get the walls started.

I think I got it...

Sex first, then paint walls, then eat your exercise calories, then paint the floors.

Am I close?

It is easy...the sammich is to be made warm and the beer kept cold.

Hope this helps.

Walls.

Do walls first and get whole job done in a day or two. Do floor first and job turns into a week long project with cure time. Are you using a two part epoxy? Just used it and is far superior to anything else, just make sure you properly etch the floor. That stuff will last through decades of hard abuse. Or, skip the floor paint all together and get basement carpet tiles. They come up easy if flooded and look seamless when down. A little of topic but I have a lot if experience with all this fun stuff. Good luck!
