I love painting. I've painted whole house interiors, and it is gratifying to see a worn out looking house transformed into a thing of beauty.

The key is good prep work and good tools. I recently had a terrible experience with some bad paint I bought at HD. Thank God it was at my house and not someone elses. I'm in the middle of a labor intensive fix, using valspar to cover up the bad Behr paint. I should have listened to an old painter friend of mine who says, "Better to leave the walls bare then to use it."

I'm hoping the Valspar will be the proper fix. We leave for Florida next Saturday,(Yippee), so I think the job will not get done until we return in June. I can't wait to get back down there.
