  I'd log it as "heavy housework" maybe?? It's listed as "cleaning" I think... seems like a similar level of activity to vigorous house cleaning, anyway!

  A heart rate monitor is the only SURE way to know, but here's some guidelines: http://www.ehow.com/about_5435510_calories-burned-painting.html
  
  You can add it as a custom exercise.
