Hey Mr. Question Answer Man bad_juice June 1 2008, 16:51:07 UTC
Shirin and I were thinking, after we move to this Las Vegas place, that we should maybe consider painting a few of the walls or maybe all of them.

Here's the apartment we're gonna be living in, only w/ our furniture and none of it painted:

http://www.apartments.com/avsummary.aspx?page=avsummary&pdrivefrm=1&subarea7=y&rgn3=137&subarea1=y&state=nv&srt3=0.31&property=101920.500.2&pdriveit=0&area1=y&srt1=0.31&rent_minimum=0&prvpg=8&srt2=0.31&rent_maximum=750&subarea5=y

But we were thinking of trying something similar, perhaps?

Anyway, since you're all in-the-know about indoor painting, I was wondering if you had any idea how much it would cost to do something like that. We've tried looking around the internet, but none of the places wanna offer estimates w/o us calling them.

if you get a professional to do it, it's gonna cost crazy money, like 25-30 bucks an hour. and if there are several rooms, it could take a while. the tricky thing with painting is what's called the "cutting"... you have to cut around all the edges with a brush, prior to rolling the walls. most colors will take two full coats, also. the first thing to do is to try to estimate the cutting... are there lots of windows, closets, trim work, etc.? all of that takes time. if it's just a square little box, it should go quickly ( ... )
