One of the best films in existence is "The Blues Brothers". One of the great lines in it is: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. The reply is: Hit it.
Why am I quoting Elwood and Jake? Our tenant moved out of our rental house we need to rent it out soon. One applicant fell through so I contacted the next one, but now there is less time available to do the things that need to be done. The backyard was bad; I think a Japanese soldier from WW2 was hiding back there. Backyard and front yard are done. We need to paint damn near the whole house. I contacted two painters (one pro and one semi-pro), the pro never returned the call and the other couldn't do it in the time frame we had. So we are doing it ourselves.
As an homage to Elwood, We have about 3/4's of a house to paint, a big bucket of paint, half of a pizza to tide us over, we're not pros... and we have less than 48 hours to do it in. Let's do it.
