I got this today from High Desert Wanderer and, given our soon-to-begin renovation project, thought it worth sharing…
Painting a room in 30 seconds or less
Had a little home improvement mishap today. I was actually cleaning the kitchen when I knocked something over. I’m still not sure what it was, but I do know that it knocked my power drill off the back of the counter into the dining room. That drove the Phillips head screw driver tip right through the side of an aerosol can of red primer. A hiss, a rattle, and a cloud of dust later, and my toolbox is red. The carpet is red. My new end table is red. The walls and part of one kitchen cabinet are red. And my DeWalt drill is red (That’s just wrong, if I’d wanted it red I’d have bought a Milwaukee drill).
Mineral spirits took most of the paint off my end table. The walls and cabinets will have to be primed and repainted. The carpet is shot, but it was scheduled to be replaced anyway. I think my drill is unfortunately red for good.
I learned my lesson though… Never clean the kitchen.
We’re looking forward to this project with anticipation (and some trepidation…)
