It has been a long time since I had to hire a paint contractor. My luck has run out. I have to hire one now to prepare my house for sale. We are moving to East Texas later this year. At least that is what my financial controller tells me. She has all my money and I go where my money goes.
I am happy to say after interviewing some paint contractors that the process has not changed. They promise the moon. But, memory tells me that is not what you always get.
Someone asked, why I don’t just do the painting myself. The answer is simple; been there and done that. Plumbing and painting are two skills that I no longer have, even if I ever had them.
And, then there’s the driving force - the financial controller. She knows my limitations and tries to keep me from doing things that should take a short amount of time - not a lifetime.
Perhaps the idea of moving everything into the middle of the room and covering it up with plastic, then spraying the whole room one color was not an idea she liked.
Meanwhile the contractors are preparing their bids.
I am practicing saying, "ain’ no #*%! way."
