| Its that time of year again...
Schools out, and the family is off to AZ again.... ...only this time its for a month! I managed to stay sane for the two weeks they were gone last year, but now I've got an additional two weeks to fill up with nonsense. They are leaving me a paint budget so I can repaint the inside of the house. Fine, I'm good with that. They also have a list of colors they want. Ha! They'll get what I put on the walls. I'm up for ideas to keep me entertained. Here's last years thread so you can get an idea... A free man for two weeks...what to do? |

buy every gallon of 'OOPS' paint they have at Home Depot, blend it all together in a trash can, insert the siphon hose to the power sprayer into the trash can and paint away!

Every few years I have my tenants at my other house paint and I find some good stuff in the "oops" paint at Home Depot! Saves me a ton of money for good quality paint... not the cheap crap that needs three coats to cover. I would rather spend a little more and only have to do one pass!! Then spend the rest on RC and beer! |

Word of warning about 'OOPS' paint though... they add soo much colorant to them to alter the color from the original that the paint is almost crap.

All of the colors I have got were on the light side (tan's, off-whites, light greens... ) so no worry of getting a bucket of pigment. |

But the light colors are not bad, steer clear of anything on the darker side. | |

16 replies and all but one involves paint. I am sorely disappointed in every single one of you. |
