have you tried KILZ paint from walmart? it's like a primer and paint in one. it's garunteed one coat to cover anything. i've used it and it really works! it comes in colors and finishes too!

We have used the Kilz primer on everything. He's already primed the basement and thinks that its good enough that way. WRONG!

Haha! I got the KILZ ceiling paint and used it on the trim. I forgot that you shouldn't paint trim with flat paint. D'oh! So, I went back and got a quart of the KILZ semi-gloss in the same color.

The walls I'm trying to cover are DAAAARK blue. I'm going to get a KILZ color (semi-gloss) when I am ready to do the walls. It did an awesome job of covering up the blue on the trim and the walls in one coat. It's expensive, but so worth it.

Fall flowers -- chrysanthemums/mums. They're perennials, and they can grow big, and they come in soooo many colors. Their foliage is pretty, too.

Congratulations on the move!

I used Budget when I moved to Florida, and they were the cheapest I found. Plus, if you look around online, or get a change of address form from the post office, you can usually find 5-10% off coupons for them as well.

I thought they were pretty good, personally, and that was with a 24 foot truck, and driving about 900 miles.
