DAMN YOU, DU ...!!!

[Adsos Letter]

I am desperately trying to get my hallway and a bedroom painted, but I keep getting sucked in to the various debates here...and if I don't finish it, the wife is gonna' give me some serious grief when she gets home...

I hold you all corporately responsible for my failure of self-discipline... :D

[HeraldSquare212]

1. Well, we kind of like the color it is now, so....nt

[Adsos Letter]

4. well...it's several colors at the moment...

:rofl: :hi:

[Hillary2008.]

20. olive green

trust me

[Adsos Letter]

23. Do you know how many coats it takes to cover olive green...

when the wife comes in and say "um...just what were you thinkin' here, oh decorating philosopher...?"

I actually have some accent walls in the house... :D :hi:

[TheMadMonk]

32. My uncle prestented his parents with 14 of them.

All in one (obviously convoluted) hallway.

[Adsos Letter]

33. lol...

I did quite a few large places with lots of colors incorporated...strictly t&m on those jobs...

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. If I was there, I'd grab a paintbrush

but it's likely your wife would wonder what an old fat woman was doing in your dwelling, arguing with you about politics.

[Adsos Letter]

6. actually, no...

that wouldn't surprise her... :D :hi:

[blondeatlast]

13. Sweet--that's funny!

I needed a good laugh, thanks! :rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

27. You are most welcome...

:hi: :D

[Adsos Letter]

34. ...sorry...

thought you were talkin' to me... :blush:

[babylonsister]

3. Just slap it on there and get back here!

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

8. Ya' know...that is what makes the whole thing so personally disgusting...

I was a painter for 30+ years...I know how quickly I could get it done...and so does the wife...

:D :hi:

[karlrschneider]

5. Can of paint.....cherry bomb.

Easy peasy. :evilgrin:

[Adsos Letter]

10. yeah...

but there is all that masking for that approach... :rofl: :hi:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

31. get maskin!

I'll bring over the sprayer. :)

[MnFats]

7. In Dutch with the wife? try robbing a convenience store

hey, worked for Nick Cage in "Raising Arizona."

[Adsos Letter]

11. Somethings gotta' give....

...maybe I could tell her there were issues with drying... :hi:

[southern_belle]

9. Priorities....

Paint or Politics, what is more important!!! :7

[Adsos Letter]

16. These moral and ethical conundrums...

are weighted differently between my wife and I... :D :hi:

[texanwitch]

12. I had something that I needed to do today but I made the mistake of

logging on to DU.

This place has a way of taking up your time.

What color are you painting?

Maybe we can help you make up some reasons way you didn't get finished.

[Adsos Letter]

17. I'm using Sherwin/Williams...

200 flat white on the ceiling...

and SW Cashmere flat enamel ("Creamy") on the walls, both are pretty quick drying...there is only a bit of colorant added to the Cashmere...

[texanwitch]

21. Sounds nice.

I used Sherwin/Williams when I painted my walls last month.

Good paint.

My walls are muliti color, I have am open loft space.

[Adsos Letter]

25. SW is good paint...you just have to match the product line to the surface...

We have several accent walls; properly applied/located, they can really add to the effect. :)

[texanwitch]

29. My first job out of high school was painting and dry wall repair.

We learned to paint the proper way.

I like the multi-color look, just couldn't stand to have just one or two colors.

[Kurovski]

14. You know what to do...

get the wife addicted, and then be junkies together.

--Paint is toxic, she's putting you in danger! :-)

[Adsos Letter]

18. Ah, addictions...

hers run toward singing, cooking, and QVC...toxicity is part of the reason I retired, though (liver...needs adjustment...)

:D :hi:

[Rosemary2205]

15. You were investigating if paint fumes can cause cancer.

I dunno if it's true or not but it sounds good. :)

[Adsos Letter]

22. Unfortuneately...we both know the answer to that one....

but it is worth a try... :) :hi:

[SoCalDem]

19. Hide the paint, and tell her you could not find it

:)

[Adsos Letter]

26. That would actually be a viable scenario, given the current state of my garage...

except I had all the necessary materials piled in the master bedroom last night, and she tripped over them on her way to the potty, which brought on a spate of terrible cursing... :scared:

:D

[NV Whino]

24. Tell her

you had to check out the color with your buds at DU, and being the cat-herders we are, we couldn't agree on a color. Cashmere sounds nice but I would worry about the shedding.

[Adsos Letter]

28. LOL!!!

That could actually work...especially if I told her I had to upload pictures to the photo forum for confirmation of each step of the operation... :D

Now...about that "shedding..." :rofl:

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

30. OK...gotta' get back on it...

thanks for your support...this does not, however, absolve any of you of anything... :D

:hi:
