[Closed] I really really really hate painting.....

OI! Get on with your painting.

The og can wait.

3k?? what they painting: the cistine chapel?

We got our whole house painted, all freshly plastered for £2,600. That was a good price I thought.

I hate all forms of decorating and housework... my bathroom has been a work in progess for 18 months.

Before you ask yes I did get a quote and it was 3 grand!

What is this for exactly, are you in the Midlands/Staffs?

It'll be lovely when it's finished!

The three grand saved will buy a grand bike.

I've got a bike 🙂

Just no time to ride it 🙁

I only hate the preparation work. Love painting. Wouldn't ever farm it out to others though as far too tight to pay out!

This is my problem, Yorkshireman stuck in London refusing pay astronomical London painting rates...

I love the filling sanding etc but by the time I spend a fortnight doing that I tend to rush the painting which means the prep was a massive waste of time

£3k to paint a house! Silly question, but how effing big is it?

Don't mind painting myself (though bike riding is preferable), as others said its all the faff of prep beforehand I don't like. Just moving in to a new place with a mate (he bought it) and we're totally redecorating before we move in (any work I do is rent paid for so it's all good), but it was covered in woodchip everywhere, and underneath the walls aren't the smoothest. Lots of time already spent removing crap off the walls, and plenty more to be done before we can think of starting to paint! 🙁

It's not the house it's just the kitchen 😯

Paint just a kitchen?!?! Is your kitchen about 100m2? And full of nooks and crannies.

i will come paint ur house for two grand...

Now that's tempting 😀
