Painting

I did a bit of painting yesterday - the upstairs ceilings. As it's a dormer bungalow - there is quite a lot of sloping ceiling - so the walls are probably only about one third of the surface area upstairs. I only did one coat of watered down emulsion - and it took about 5 hours. At this rate I reckon the whole house will take 10 full days of work - which I won't be able to fit in with a 2 year old and 3 other kids on school holidays. I will get a couple of quotes ffom painters this week - at least for the downstairs. It needs to be done idealy before the finished floors go down - so that is in about 4 weeks. Not much hope of ne finding 10 full days in the next 4 weeks with my wife out working 5 or 6 days a week.
