[speaker001:] Okay, have you painted something lately?
[speaker002:] Yes, I have. That room I showed you.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And then since then we have painted the bedroom.
[speaker001:] Oh yeah, another bedroom.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I showed you that one too didn't I? The brown one.
[speaker001:] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[speaker002:] Yeah, the one that looks like a fudgesicle.
[speaker001:] Oh yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Oh heavens. Well, I painted the outside of my house
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and one bathroom. But I get, I have that problem with the the ceiling, you know, the, uh, the blown, blown, ceiling.
[speaker002:] Oh yeah.
[speaker001:] You know where you get around the edge.
[speaker002:] Well, that is hard. Now, I asked Janice, or somebody recently how you do that
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] uh, when you paint the ceilings
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] you know where you have got that textured stuff, that they have special rollers that are real soft and furry that you paint that with.
[speaker001:] Well, how do you get the edge though?
[speaker002:] How do you get the edge?
[speaker001:] The the straight edge?
[speaker002:] You just have to be real careful.
[speaker001:] Oh, I see.
[speaker002:] We use, uh, uh, a two inch brush with, uh, on a slant
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and that mostly does it even though you still make mistakes. But.
[speaker001:] Huh. Well are you going to paint the outside of your house too?
[speaker002:] Well, yeah. I think I am going to do it this spring actually.
[speaker001:] Oh really?
[speaker002:] Yeah, there are six houses. See the people that own the house they, uh, pay for anything like that, that we do.
[speaker001:] Oh nice.
[speaker002:] As far as the the materials. There are three houses on this street the same color of yellow out of six houses.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] So, I am thinking I am going to change it to, uh, something, you know, the brick is multi color.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Mostly earth tones. I think I am going to put something like a brown on it, on the outside.
[speaker001:] Oh, that will be nice.
[speaker002:] And maybe, a little deeper brown in the entry way or something so it will stand out a little.
[speaker001:] Huh.
[speaker002:] What color did you paint,
[speaker001:] Or, two tone, or two tone.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] You know.
[speaker002:] There are some columns that could be painted a different color too.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] What color did you paint your house?
[speaker001:] White.
[speaker002:] On the out,
[speaker001:] But, I have a problem. I can't get up high and we can't paint the chimney [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, you have got to get one of those ladders.
[speaker001:] We have one of those ladders. We are just not willing to get up that high.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] A friend of mine that lives out in your neighborhood, he has done his house and that is what he, I was out there last week and he has finished everything except the chimney.
[speaker001:] Well, we did too. We did it in the fall and it, it's just too high. It is really scary, but
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and the only thing I would consider doing, a professional, maybe doing that, but it other than doing our own work I prefer it to a professional.
[speaker002:] Well, our house in New Mexico, it was stucco, but we had all this trim to paint, and lots of it.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And we did basically seventy-five percent of the house and then I was afraid to do the eaves way up high and stuff.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] So, I hired this man to come in and do it. A young kid.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And he came with, with his own raf-, what do you call those things?
[speaker001:] The blowers?
[speaker002:] No, those where you built like a rafter thing.
[speaker001:] Oh, oh, oh, oh, I know what you are talking about. Uh
[speaker002:] Yeah. Scaffold.
[speaker001:] scaffold. That's it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] He came and did it that way and I think he charged me a hundred dollars to finish up.
[speaker001:] Huh.
[speaker002:] And literally I wouldn't have done it with the scaffolds because
[speaker001:] Its,
[speaker002:] all the places that I had left for him were above huge humongous cactus
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] and if he fell, he was dead and he knew that [LAUGHTER]. So,
[speaker001:] Oh, my. So that was worth it getting a professional
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] for that.
[speaker002:] Plus, he cleaned up my mess.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Oh, I think that is what we might have to do with this chimney, but other than that, it was pretty easy doing it ourself and caulking it and everything ourself.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] It wasn't too bad. I mean you think,
[speaker002:] How much did it cost you for the paint for the outside?
[speaker001:] Shoot, maybe a hundred and fifty.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Since, it is a one story, but we did, uh, like two heavy coats over it. But then that way
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] you know you are assured you did a good job than you are, you know, if you hire someone to do it.
[speaker002:] But, that friend of mine that painted his house out there in your neighborhood
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] he went to, uh, I guess to buy his paint
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and yet he bought like seventeen gallons.
[speaker001:] My word.
[speaker002:] And, anyway, he, when he checked out
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and he was using his charge card too.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] They only charged him for one gallon of paint. Like thirteen bucks or something.
[speaker001:] Oh, my word.
[speaker002:] And he had, he had, the, uh, he had already carried a ladder outside
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and told her that and she wrung all that stuff up and made a mistake on the price of the paint
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] so she had to start all over again
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and when he got outside, he noticed his receipt was like thirteen ninety-nine or something.
[speaker001:] Oh, my word.
[speaker002:] And he saw.
[speaker001:] So that was really worth it. Painting his own house.
[speaker002:] Yeah, it was like over two hundred dollars worth of free stuff.
[speaker001:] Oh, my word [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh, my word. Well, he really saved in that way.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] But, yeah, I think we are going to do, uh, another bathroom, but I think I will probably just do it, in a roller. I want to do it about the same color. And just be a little,
[speaker002:] Uh. Rollers are so messy. We never any more.
[speaker001:] Oh, I know. But it's that, it's the textured wall.
[speaker002:] Well, a little paintbrush,
