So apparently I have gone 25 years without properly learning to paint a wall. Who knew? So far my dad has been doing all of the painting and hasn't let me do anything! (Whose house is this?) Anyway, I've been assigned cleaning/organizing/prep work but today I ACTUALLY GOT TO PAINT. Now I will tell you that the section I painted was behind the fridge and will never been seen by ANYONE, but still I painted!!! Today [we were working on painting the kitchen walls. (No the cabinets are not done, but the project manager {i.e., Dad] said we were painting the walls. I just follow directions.
Here were the tips I learned:
-Push hard against the wall with the roller
-Move in the same direction (vertical or horizontal) for one coat and then switch to the other direction for the second coat
-If you get paint on the trim (who me?) it can be wiped off with paper towel if you are quick
-Look for drips and correct them ASAP
-Get a good amount of paint on the roller; don't be stingy
-Don't talk while you paint; it ruins your focus......
Got in my run today AND I got a free pizza lunch because apparently it's some week honoring teachers! Go teachers!
