I was browsing through some old pics of work I've done, and this photo made me shudder so I thought I'd post it for all to see. This was a job that I have bitter sweet memories of. It was for a wonderful family that practically adopted me by the time I was finished. It was a simple custom "walls-only" repaint job. The owner was going to do all the prep work. He did a fantastic job. He was also a perfectionist. Meaning he would clear a room "ready" for me, the after I was done, he would get out the halogen lights and inspect it. As anyone in the industry knows, halogen lights are evil devices for customers to have in their hands. He would then proceed to re-patch any miniscule dings in the walls for me to touch up. Again, finished work, now I have to spot prime to avoid flashing, then recoat. Of course, most of the colours were accent or deep base, meaning multiple coats. Especially for touchups. This photo is of the pile of post-it note "tags" for touchups. Not for the whole house. For ONE, I repeat, ONE closet. It wasn't even a walk-in closet. I can't even walk into an Office Depot or Staples store with out breaking into cold sweats and a panic attack........
