[speaker001:] okay have you painted something lately
[speaker002:] yes I have that room I showed you and then since then we painted the bedroom
[speaker001:] yeah oh yeah another bedroom
[speaker002:] yeah I showed you that one too didn't I the brown one yeah the one that looks like a fudgesicle
[speaker001:] hm yeah yeah yeah oh yeah oh heavens well I painted the outside of my house and one bathroom but I get I have that trouble with the the ceiling you know the uh what is that blow the blow ceiling
[speaker002:] yeah yeah oh yeah
[speaker001:] you know where you get around the edge
[speaker002:] well I've heard now I asked Janice somebody recently about how how you do that
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] oh uh when you paint the ceiling if you know when you got that textured stuff that they'd have special rollers
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] that are real soft and furry that you'd paint that with how you get the edge you just have to be real careful
[speaker001:] well how do you get the edge though the the straight edge oh I see
[speaker002:] we use a 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
[speaker001:] huh
[speaker002:] but
[speaker001:] well are you willing to paint the outside of your house too
[speaker002:] well yeah I think I'm going to do it this spring actually
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] there're there're six houses see the people that own the house they uh pay for anything like that we do as far as the the materials there's three houses on this street the same color of yellow out of six houses
[speaker001:] oh oh nice  yeah
[speaker002:] so I'm thinking I'm gonna change it to something you know the brick is multicolor with mostly earth tones I think I'm gonna put something like a brown on it
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh that'd be nice
[speaker002:] on the outside yeah and maybe a little deeper brown in the entry way or something something where it'll stand out a little
[speaker001:] hm or two tone or two tone
[speaker002:] what color'd you paint what yeah
[speaker001:] you know
[speaker002:] there's some columns that could be painted a different color too what color did you paint your house
[speaker001:] uh-huh well the white but I have a problem I can't get up high and we can't paint the chimney
[speaker002:] on the outside well you got to get one of those ladders
[speaker001:] well we have one of those ladders we're just not willing to get up that high
[speaker002:] oh yeah well a friend of mine that lives out in your neighborhood he's done his house and that's what he I was out there last weekend he's finished everything except the chimney
[speaker001:] well we did too we did it in the fall and it's just it's too high it's really scary but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and the only thing I would consider doing a professional is maybe doing that but is other than doing our own work I prefer it to a professional
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I know our house in New Mexico it was stucco but we had all this trim to paint and a 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 young kid and he came with with his own rafter uh what do you call those things no those where you built like a rafter thing
[speaker001:] uh-huh the blowers oh oh oh oh I know what you're talking about um scaffolds that's it
[speaker002:] yeah scaffolds yeah 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 all the places that I had left for him were above huge humongous cactuses and if he fell he was dead and he knew that so
[speaker001:] it's yeah oh my so that was worth it getting a professional for that
[speaker002:] yeah plus he cleaned up my mess
[speaker001:] oh I think that's what we might have to do with the chimney but other than that it was pretty easy doing it ourself and caulking it and everything ourself
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] it wasn't too bad I mean you save
[speaker002:] how much did it cost you to for the paint for the outside
[speaker001:] shoot maybe a hundred and fifty
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know since it's a one story but we did uh like two heavy coats over it but in in in that way you know you're assured you did a good job than you are you know if you hire someone to do it
[speaker002:] yeah that yeah that friend of mine that painted his house out there in your neighborhood he went to oh Furrows I guess to buy his paint and yet he bought like seventeen gallons
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh my word
[speaker002:] and anyway he when he checked out they only and and he was using his Furrows charge card too they only charged him for one gallon of paint like thirteen bucks or something
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum oh my word
[speaker002:] and he had he had the bill he had already carried a ladder outside and and told her that and she wrung all that stuff up and made a mistake on the price of the paint
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] so she had to start all over again and he when he got outside he noticed his receipt was for like thirteen ninety nine or something
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh my word so that was really worth it painting his own house
[speaker002:] and he saw it I guess yeah it was like over two hundred dollars worth of free stuff
[speaker001:] oh my word oh my word well he really saved in that way but yeah I think we're gonna to do uh another bathroom
[speaker002:] yeah uh
[speaker001:] but uh I think I'll probably just do it in a roller I wanna do it about the same color and just be a little
[speaker002:] yeah rollers are so messy we never mess with them anymore
[speaker001:] oh I know but it's that it's the textured wall
[speaker002:] well still a paintbrush
[speaker001:] he can still
