I did the calculations on painting the inside of the garage myself and it's 15 gallons of primer and 12 gallons of paint. That's about $450-500 in materials. My exterior painter said he would paint it for $800. I think I'll pay the $300 extra just to save myself the hassle. Painting sucks - I don't know how anyone could do this for a living.
Anyway, good mroning SRiC.

I used to be a house painter, the part of house painting that really sucks is painting the eaves of a house while your on the roof, holy shiznat is it ever f'in hot up there, the soles of your shoes start melting after the first 5 min., can't imagine the paint held very well, but hey, I was just the painter, it was my bosses fault if anything went wrong. One house we painted the wrong color three times thanks to my boss, I remember the third time I avoided getting up on the roof like the plague.
