Happy July! Watching paint dry can actually be stressful

Here are the things I learnt this weekend (and in list form because I love lists):

• We should have asked our friend Amine to help us paint, because he loves to paint and has tons of days off to use up
• When painting, daylight is better
• When painting, a power roller is an excellent tool
• When painting, you should wipe up those paint drips, because latex paint can dry in 3D
• Curtains scrunch up, so our measurements were just slightly off
• Always put painting tape around stuff you don't want to become blue (or the colour you're painting), because then it means you have to sand it down later
• Have the vacuum handy when painting, because you can vacuum up the dust on the baseboards before washing them
• Flip flops double as an excellent fly swatter (killed 3 today!)
