A Few Notes About Painting...

     Since preparation is just as important as the paint job itself, set yourself up with some must-have painting accessories. Take a few moments to repair small nail holes in the walls and fill in cracks and crevices with spackle or vinyl filler. Then, smooth the rough spots and create clean edges by applying masking tape around windows, doors, and where the walls meet the ceiling and floor.
    When you've chosen your paint color and finish, there are a few standard painting tools to have on hand. You'll need enough paint trays and brushes per painter and a few extra if you're applying more than one color. Many tools will help speed up the painting process including step ladders, extension poles, and edging sponges. 
    When you've finished, remember to clean your painting equipment using soap and water (if using latex based paint), mineral spirits or paint thinner (if using oil based paint). With the right care, these tools can be used more than once, saving you time and money, so you can get your weekend back.
