I don't mind painting, so much. Prep work on the other hand is something that should not be left to the obsessive compulsive!
At times I think I'm doing it backwards, maybe I should have hired out the prep work and done the painting myself, It would have been a good excuse for a good airless. Naw, I would have just ended up prepping after the paid preppers and still having to paint. The voices in my head hate me sometimes. But then again...
