I put my house painting skills to the test yesterday by painting a bedroom closet. This particular closet proved tricky because I needed to paint around three permanent woodgrain shelves and all the trim within the closet.
To
begin, I spent thirty minutes applying masking tape before even lifting my
paintbrush and roller. Once I did start
painting, I was enormously careful not to slop paint on the shelves and door
trim.
All
this while having to contort my body to work within the confines of the closet.
I
can now announce that my painting project turned out perfect – not a stray drop
or smudge of paint on either the shelves or trim.
But
this is a Mitch story and the good news must end there.
By
the time I finished the project, some three hours after starting, my hands, my
face, my hair, my shirt, my pants, my shoes, and even my smartphone were
covered with smears of latex paint.
