Zero gallons of paint in white washed structures.
Wikipedia article sez:
"In Britain and Ireland, whitewash was used historically, for both interiors and exteriors, in workers' cottages, and still retains something of this association with rural poverty.
In the United States, a similar attitude is expressed in the old saying: "Too proud to whitewash and too poor to paint"."
