Michael Angelo sure must have had a time painting the Sistine Chapel, last night (around 7pm to be exact) I thought "What a good time to start repainting the bathroom ceiling!"... HA think again self - I should have remembered the long hours and excruciating arm pain when I painted the master bedroom last year. I will say that "frog tape" is far superior to the typical "blue painters tape" (and the green color is more novel). It does work great at creating clean lines....BUT when you have a bathroom wall with very very VERY old flat paint on the walls that has absorbed moisture for decades...be prepared. As I began removing the tape - it took quite a bit of the wall paint with it...not a pretty picture. After collecting some paint fragments I am heading to Lowe's in between sales calls today to see about reviving this color so that I may repair the tears in the wall paint and "de-ghetto" my bathroom with better ceilings.
Future formula for estimating paint time: (Square Footage + Age of Existing Paint) x infinity + 3 hours for climbing up and down the ladder and washing paint off of your hands and ladder = HIRE A PROFESSIONAL!
Maybe it was the paint fumes, but I also endured the most terrible nightmare I have had in years...you know you have had a bad dream when you wake up and say out loud "Wow that was terrible". Dreams are the worst when they have any kind of a foothold in reality - I would like to have a good dream based in reality, lets try for that tonight!
