I told my wife I’d paint Palmer’s room, not to hire anyone. I’d never painted before. The walls look great...
... the carpet, that’s another story.
And you’re probably wondering, how? How did all that paint get on the carpet when there’s clearly a drop cloth in the first picture...
Well, the drop cloth only covers 3/4 of the room. When I moved the ladder (with paint tray still at top of the ladder), the paint tray fell, bounced off the top of my head and onto the 1/4 of the floor that wasn’t covered...
... I screamed all sorts of ungodly expletives while my wife was teaching a sixth grade Zoom class in the adjacent room.
I watched two YouTube tutorials on how to paint a room. Both left out the most important tip: Always know where your paint is.
Luckily, my wife has been wanting to re-carpet our upstairs anyway, so I’m not sleeping on the couch. I will, however, pay someone to do the carpet.
