Here is a before picture of the living room


















And after. we choose a darker color for the main wall and a lighter color for the other walls. turned out very well.


Here is my office wall :D such a great color. only one wall will be painted this color. it faces the living room.

And the aftermath of cleaning bright green paint. its like a toxic spill in the back yard garden LOL












And here is Missys FAIL for the day. Dropped a gallon of paint from about wast high. LOL

Here we have Missy painting the ceiling. She has apparently never painted before and it sort of shows LOL She was painting the second coat of the final paint. i might have to put another coat on it LOL
















Here is Missy again. She is painting the wall with primer. Notice the completely random pattern she uses LOL. She ended up missing a lot of areas. i finally got her to do it better, but it took almost 7 hours LOL

The PO didnt know what a damn door stop was so we had lots of holes. here is one of the patch jobs. i will come back and texture it after its dried to help blend it in. 

















And to help keep it from doing this ever again, i installed door stops. one on each door LOL. should keep this from happening again.

well, borrowed a compressor and textured the ceiling today. man, what a work out.  heres what it looks like. I did the orange peal type. just watered down drywall mud and sprayed on. will paint it tomorrow.



















here was my way of taping everything off. working alone made it hard to tape everything, so i made a simple shield from masonite and a 2x4. super simple
