These painters ( 2 of them) have been painting their hearts out for 3 days now! I think everything now has at least one coat, so they will probably be finishing up tomorrow? All this priming and sanding out of rough spots and trim work...I'm SO glad I didn't tackle this on my own! I would've lost it just taping around the edges, let alone vaulted ceilings, and all the little fussy stuff!
I found this company on Angie's List, and a very lucky find it was, too. Anyone out there aware of Angie's List? It's an on-line website ( www.angieslist.com of course) and it lists ALL sorts of trades people and handy men, and just about any type of service you can think of. You plug in your zip code, and get local listings. Customers (both happy and un-happy ones) can enter comments on the people they've hired. You get comments on punctuality, quality of work, prices, etc. It's a great place to start. They list companies that members have entered, the companies don't list themselves or pay a fee to be listed. Only down-side is the membership fee; and it's not exorbitant, but it is annual. Might be worth looking into if anyone else is thinking of disrupting their lives like this! :<) I've looked up companies there several times now.
Tomorrow will be the unveiling of the colors!!! Stay tuned...

Definitely be glad you didn't disrupt your life by doing all that yourself: my wife and I just moved into a new house a few weeks ago, and all we've been doing so far (besides moving boxes in) is taking down nasty old wallpaper, spackling, sanding, and painting. Seems like it'll never end! Hopefully we can hire some help soon :) Good luck with your colors!
I'll have to add Angie's List to my bookmarks!
